The MSNICU is a combined medical-surgical and neuroscience intensive care unit. We care for medical and surgical patients who have experienced a stroke, epilepsy, brain injury, spinal disorder, or other neurological disorders. We also care for patients who require support such as mechanical ventilation and treatment for multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
Our refurbished centre has 24 state-of-the-art intensive-care beds, and eight neurosurgical "step-down" monitored beds.
As one of the largest specialty neurosurgical intensive care units in the country, we are a regional centre for patients with spinal cord injuries and for neuroscience patients. We are also a provincially-designated Regional Stroke Centre, where patients requiring clot-busting drugs and other therapies are admitted to our unit for care.
Our unit uses music to help our patients heal, which received attention from the Toronto Sun. Read their coverage.
