The NSICU located at Mount Sinai West is a 14-bed ICU with a special focus on the management of ICH, epilepsy, and movement disorders. In addition to ICU care, neurocritical care team oversees the management and transfer of over 1000 neurologic emergency cases per year across our health system. The division boasts a dually accredited neurocritical care fellowship program and has educational and research conferences fully integrated between campuses. Our robust research program spanning NIH and industry sponsored multicenter clinical trials, investigator-initiated studies, the Dangayach (Neuroemergencies Management and Transfers) NEMAT lab are supported by research infrastructure via the Department of Neurosurgery and Institute of Critical Care Medicine (ICCM).
