Burn Trauma ICU

The Intermountain Burn Center/Burn Trauma Intensive Care Unit includes a twelve bed ICU, operating room, burn therapy and outpatient departments. It is designed to treat both pediatric and adult thermally / chemically / electrically injured patients, hypothermic patients and other patient populations with soft tissue diseases, injuries or open wounds requiring special care. Other patients requiring critical care services are admitted to the BTICU as census dictates.

Approximately 66% of the patient population is male, 35% are children.

Nursing shifts are routinely 12 hour shifts on a rotating basis. Self scheduling within given parameters has been very successful on the unit.
