Neuro Intensive-Care

The Neurosurgical and Neurological Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) is a regional referral center, and the only dedicated intensive care unit in the Rocky Mountain region. It is staffed by a fellowship trained neuro-intensive specialist twenty four hours per day, with dedicated and specialized neuro-critical care nursing.

Under the leadership of Robert T. Neumann MD, PhD the practice has evolved to a multidisciplinary subspecialty at UCH. The NICU team works seamlessly with Neurosurgical, Neurological, Interventional Radiology, General Surgery, Trauma, and Pulmonary and Internal Medicine specialties on a daily basis. The NICU provides all types of invasive and non-invasive cardiopulmonary, renal, and neurological life- support and monitoring.  The technological advancements in the Neuro-ICU provide the clinician, patient and family with options and answers effecting quality of life.
