Critical Care

The UK College of Medicine Department of Emergency Medicine Division of Critical Care  is dedicated to ensuring quality critical care from the time patients enter the emergency department to the time they leave the department and are transported to the ICU. We are dedicated to comprehensive critical care, from neurointensive care to airway emergencies, sepsis, post-arrest care, advanced hemodynamic monitoring, critical care ultrasound, and beyond. Throughout training, our residents get hands on critical care in a variety of different settings, including the pediatric, pulmonary, anesthesia, and surgical intensive care units.
