The Cooper University Hospital Medical/Surgical ICU occupies 25,000
square feet and an entire floor of the recently opened (March 2009) new
hospital building. Thirty patient rooms are housed along two 179 feet
long hallways and all rooms face the outside of the building.
Each room is 300+ square feet. One room is 320 sq ft and has a ceiling
mounted hoist for the morbidly obese patient. Five rooms are capable of
negative pressure isolation, and four rooms have chambered isolation
alcoves.
Another enlarged room is outfitted for bedside
exploratory laporatomy in patients too unstable go to the operating
room. It features special operating room caliber overhead lighting. A
desk with computer sits outside two adjacent rooms allowing visual
access to both rooms from either one or two seats. The patient is
aligned to appreciate the outside view. The relationship between the bed
and a combination power and medical gas column, which sits 18 inches
from the wall, provides 360° access to the head of the bed for airway
emergencies. Within the room is a wireless computer on wheels for
nursing use with full access to the patient’s electronic medical record
as well as hospital and worldwide internet. The nurses are freed from
stocking both medications and supplies as this is handled daily by
pharmacy personnel and ICU technicians. The ICU features abundant
in-room family space in line with the unit’s patient/family focus.
