Critical Care Unit

Central Maine Medical Center’s Critical Care Unit, is a specialized nursing unit that provides expert care for seriously-ill or -injured patients.

CMMC’s Critical Care Unit consists of two separate but interlinked nursing units. The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) provides care for patients with a wide range of health issues. Only steps away from the ICU is the Cardiac Care Unit, which primarily serves those recovering from a heart attack or other cardiac event. A major focus of the Critical Care Unit is assisting surgical patients, particularly trauma patients who have had extensive procedures following an accident.

Both units are staffed with specially trained nurses and technicians. The region’s only hospital-based critical care specialist, serves as medical director of the Critical Care Unit.

Patients on CMMC’s Critical Care Unit are cared for by a skilled team of healthcare professionals that has at its disposal high-tech equipment and the most current medications that are essential in helping critically ill patients recover from sickness or injury.
