Distinct characteristics of
our program and critical care unit

As our national population ages, we are seeing a yearly increase in the number of people requiring emergency medical care. Conversely, the number of child deaths due to accidents in Japan is high even among advanced nations, exposing the urgent need to build regional wide-area emergency care systems. In addition to being designated (by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) as an advanced treatment hospital in a secondary medical area serving 1.8 million residents, Nihon University Itabashi Hospital also serves as a Base Hospital for Disasters, a Pediatric Emergency and Critical Care Center, a Maternal Emergency and Critical Care and General Perinatal Emergency Medical Care Center, a Priority Hospital for Emergency Aortic Disease, and is a participating facility in the CCU Network and the Tokyo Burn Unit Association. Annually, over 2,200 seriously and critically sick and wounded patients are transported to our Critical Care Unit who require a wide variety of treatment including surgery for, among other symptoms, external injuries, burns, acute abdomen, acute coronary syndrome, poisoning, cardiopulmonary arrest, and other internal medical diseases. We are especially focusing on radical medicine that applies acute care for external injuries, acute care and cerebral protection therapy for central nervous system diseases, catheter therapy for acute coronary syndrome, intensive care for severe sepsis, and extracorporeal circulation and cerebral hypothermia therapy for cardiopulmonary arrest.
We conduct research on emergency and intensive care for pre-hospital and initial therapy and in the field of intensive care medicine. For the latter field, our research even covers: pathophysiological analysis and control of severe stress that occurs in severely traumatized or septic patients; comprehensive search for biomarkers associated with clinical outcomes of sepsis, cerebral infarction, and post cardiac arrest syndrome; establishing a nutrition therapy for critically ill patients; early brain function assessment method for post cardiac arrest syndrome patients; development of non-invasive cerebral protection devices (pulmonary cooling devices); and neurological intensive care and neurological monitoring.
