perform patient care, teaching and<br />
research in adult critical care in several<br />
intensive care units: The Surgical Intensive<br />
Care Unit (SICU) at Duke, the SICU<br />
at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center<br />
(VAMC) and the Neuroscience ICU at<br />
Duke. Divisional faculty also provide<br />
medical care in the Hyperbaric Center<br />
and the Pediatric ICU. Reports from the<br />
Neurosciences ICU, Hyperbaric Center,<br />
and Pediatric ICU are listed elsewhere<br />
in this publication. In June of 2000, Dr.<br />
Reves, at the recommendation of the<br />
Departmental Executive Committee,<br />
announced a name change of several<br />
of the Divisions within the Department<br />
of Anesthesiology to reflect their<br />
involvement in Critical Care Medicine.<br />
This involvement is clinical, educational,<br />
and investigative. The changed<br />
names of our divisions are:<br />
Cardiothoracic Anesthesia and<br />
Critical Care Medicine<br />
General, Vascular, Transplant<br />
Anesthesia and Surgical Critical<br />
Care Medicine<br />
Pediatric Anesthesia and Critical<br />
Care Medicine<br />
Women’s Anesthesia and Critical<br />
Care Medicine.<br />
The matrix Division of Critical Care<br />
Medicine remains responsible for the<br />
overall education of fellows in Critical<br />
Care Medicine and continues to coordinate<br />
our department's multiple<br />
specialty-specific critical care programs.<br />
