Life threatening diseases of the nervous system are dealt with by a branch of medicine known as Neuro-Critical care. The care provided takes the form of a multidisciplinary approach coordinating input from teams of specialists such as Neurocritical Care, Critical Care, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Trauma Surgery, Ortho Spine as required. Conditions include strokes, intracranial hemorrhage (bleeding into the brain), traumatic brain injury, aneurysm rupture and spinal cord injuries. Strokes are particularly common with over 795,000 people suffering a stroke in the United States each year. Every 4 minutes on average, an American dies from a stroke.

A critical illness or injury is one that impairs one or more vital organ systems to the point that it is imminently life threatening. Critical Care doctors from Critical Care, Pulmonary & Sleep Associates are all board certified and operate across Metro-Denver in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) to manage conditions such as central nervous system (brain) failure, circulatory (heart) failure, shock, and failure of the renal (kidney), hepatic (liver), metabolic or respiratory (lung) systems.

For those who get enough sleep, it is easily taken for granted. Sleep is the only natural regenerative state of the brain and as such, it is an integral part of healthy living. Sleep problems can derive from poor quality or lack of quantity of sleep. Sleep specialists at Critical Care, Pulmonary and Sleep Associates specialize in treating all kinds of sleep disorders including complex neurological sleep disorders and high altitude sleep problems. Lack of necessary sleep can translate into numerous problems ranging from memory problems to accidents, to depression, to impaired judgment, and can affect the overall quality of life every day.

Lung diseases such as asthma, COPD, tuberculosis, infections such as pneumonia and influenza, or lung cancer can disrupt the flow of oxygen into the body. Each type of lung disease is unique and so is every patient. Critical Care, Pulmonary and Sleep Associates have a team of board-certified Pulmonologists—also known as Pulmonary Specialists or Lung Doctors to deliver personalized care. They analyze and then treat patients who are short of breath or have low oxygen levels.
