The Full Form of MICU is Medical Intensive Care Unit.

A MICU is a location in the hospital where critically ill patients receive care. As a medical ICU, we care for patients with a variety of conditions, many of them life-threatening. As experts in managing these conditions, we work together as a team to care for each patient.

How can I learn what is going on with a patient in the MICU?

As a valued team member, we encourage patient and family participation during our daily work rounds. Daily rounds occur between 9am and 12:30pm, where the care team will discuss recent events, the plan for the day, and the patient or loved one’s goal for the day. This is also a time to have your questions answered.

Patients requiring a stay in the ICU for two or more days will meet with the care team to discuss the current diagnosis and prognosis. By providing your preferred contact information, we can contact you directly with any changes to the patient’s condition. You can also contact the Unit directly at (215) 662-9600 to speak with a team member. It is helpful to designate one family member or caregiver to be the contact point. This assists in the accurate and efficient flow of information.
