The Cardiothoracic ICU cares for complex patients with multiple-system conditions, including adult congenital anomalies and heart and lung transplant patients needing post-surgical care. With nurse-patient ratios that promote patient safety and patient/family satisfaction, nurses care for patients with the very latest technology, which includes telemedicine.

Overview

Barnes-Jewish Hospital at Washington University Medical Center is the largest hospital in Missouri and is ranked as one of the nation’s top hospitals by U.S. News & World Report. Barnes-Jewish Hospital’s staff is composed of full-time academic faculty and community physicians of Washington University School of Medicine, supported by a house staff of residents, interns, fellows and other medical professionals. Recognizing its excellence in nursing care, Barnes-Jewish Hospital was the first adult hospital in Missouri to be certified as a Magnet Hospital by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

The Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit (CTICU) specializes in the post-operative care of cardiac, thoracic, and vascular patients including ECMO, VAD, and transplants.

Our high acuity patient volume allows for low nurse-patient ratios promoting safety and satisfaction of patients, families, and staff. 

Patients are supported by a multidisciplinary team providing the latest evidence-based practice, procedural techniques, and complex surgical procedures with advanced technology.
