At the Children’s of Alabama Bruno Heart Center, our 20-bed Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) cares for children in need of specialized care for their cardiac condition.

Our multidisciplinary team includes cardiovascular intensivists trained in pediatric cardiology, pediatric critical care and neonatology. They work alongside our cardiac surgeons and together with a team of highly specialized nurses, respiratory therapists, and nurse practitioners to provide the best care for our patients.

Research and Quality Initiative (QI) projects are an integral part of delivering expert care to our patients in the CVICU. Our Clinical Guidelines have led to improved outcomes as highlighted below.

We understand that children requiring cardiac critical care can be a highly stressful time for both patients and their families. We are committed to providing our patients with the best care possible from our expert team of pediatric subspecialists.
