AbstractThe Mount Sinai Hospital Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) was founded in 1969. Drs. William Shoemaker and Christopher Bryan-Brown were the first directors. Since it was founded, the SICU has been an integral part of the Mount Sinai Medical Center, providing a wide variety of clinical services including critical care, central line placement, and nutritional consultation. As one of the largest training programs in the United States and a frequent contributor to the medical literature, the SICU has also played a vital role in academic critical care medicine.
