Kosciusko Community Hospital's Intensive Care Unit (ICU)/Progressive Care Unit (PCU) consists of fourteen private rooms fully equipped to monitor and respond to the needs of the critical care patient.  The ICU/PCU also has one dedicated bariatric room.

Approximately 600 patients are admitted to the ICU/PCU each year as a result of:

• Heart Attacks
• Shock
• Trauma
• Severe Respiratory Distress
• Complicated Surgical Procedures
• Pacemaker Insertions
• Other Critical Medical Conditions

These patients are monitored and cared for by a team of specially trained physicians and staff members. ICU/PCU staff members utilize an invasive monitoring system for continuously measuring pressures inside a patient's heart. ICU/PCU staff members also electronically monitor the heart rhythms of up to twelve patients on the Medical/Surgical Care Unit.
