Women's Intensive Care Unit/Rapid Response Nurse

The function of Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies (WPHWB) Women's Intensive Care Unit (WICU) is based on the primary care model principles.

As a Level III Perinatal Center, the Women's Intensive Care Unit provides comprehensive care on a 24-hour, 7-day a week basis.

The unit has five beds to provide highly skilled medical and nursing care to the critically ill female patient.

Clinically, the unit provides advanced hemodynamic monitoring, artificial airway and ventilator management, obstetrical monitoring and other treatments that are necessary to aggressively treat the complex acutely ill and critically ill female patient.

Care of the patient is through a multi-disciplinary team including the medical and/or surgical critical care Intensivist and the maternal-fetal medical team services to meet and exceed our customers' needs through quality patient/family care, treatment, patient and family education, collaborative practice, and continuous improvement of our processes.

The role of the Rapid Response Nurse (RRT) involves patient assessment and stabilization through proactive and reactive rounding; communication and collaboration with the managing physician and/or consultants; nursing support and education and patient rescue.

The goal of the Rapid Response Team is to reduce Code Blue 90s outside of the Intensive Care Units (ICUs); reduce harm events outside of the ICUs; reduce unplanned ICU admissions and re-admissions to the ICUs and provide nursing support and education.
