Intensive Care Unit

The intensive care unit (ICU) at Kentucky River Medical Center provides continuous monitoring and treatment of critically ill patients. Because patients in the ICU require specialized care, visitors should understand that their visit might be interrupted or cut short based on the needs of the patient and doctors. 

Kentucky River Medical Center’s ICU is a six-bed unit that cares for patients who are critically ill and require close monitoring, 24 hours a day, such as patients using artificial ventilation, or recovering from heart attacks or major surgery – as well as vast range of other critical health needs.
