Neuro ICUNeonatal ICU night shift, 3 a.m. The new resident who stutters like a broken ventilator alarm finds a wandering adult patient (naked, delirious, dragging his IV pole) in the hallway outside the unit.
He grabs the unit phone and pages security.
Resident: “I-I-I f-f-f-found a l-l-l-l-loose p-p-p-patient!”
Security: “Copy, doc. Where is he now?”
Resident: “In n-n-n-ne…”
Security: “Neuro ICU?”
Resident: “N-n-n-n-ne…”
Security: “Neuro?”
Resident: “…f-f-fuck it.” (hangs up)
Calls back two minutes later.
Resident: “M-m-m-me again, ab-b-b-b-bout the p-p-p-patient.”
Security: “Where is he?”
Resident: “In n-n-n-n-ne…”
Security: “Neuro ICU?”
Resident: “…damn it.” (hangs up again)
Third call, same dance. Security is losing patience.
Half an hour later the resident pages triumphantly:
Resident: “S-s-s-s-security, it’s m-m-m-m-me, ab-b-b-bout the p-p-p-patient.”
Security (sighing): “Doc, where is he now?”
Resident: “In n-n-n-n-ne…”
Security: “Neuro ICU?”
Resident: “Y-y-yes! I j-j-j-just d-d-d-dragged his ass there myself.”

NEW MEDICAL DEVICES

Discover new cutting-edge medical devices that are revolutionizing patient care and improving outcomes in the ICU.
Did your ICU recently adopt a new medical device? We want to hear about it!

Virtual IncisionDespite the significant patient benefits of minimally invasive surgery (MIS)—including less pain, fewer complications, and faster recovery—an estimated 90% of U.S. operating rooms lack the necessary technology. To address this gap, Virtual Incision has developed MIRA (Miniaturized In Vivo Robotic Assistant), the first miniaturized surgical robotic system designed to make MIS more accessible.
The key advantage of MIRA is its portability and compact size. Unlike traditional, large robotic systems that require dedicated space, the MIRA robot weighs only approximately 2 pounds and can be used as a stand-alone device in smaller facilities or integrated into an existing setup. In February 2024, the company achieved a major milestone by receiving FDA approval to market MIRA for use in colectomies (colon removal), one of the most complex abdominal procedures, nearly half of which are still performed using older, open surgery techniques. MIRA aims to expand the reach of robotic MIS, making complex procedures safer and recovery faster for more patients.
