Depends on the situation.
In short, the ADA entitles the disabled handler to take the service dog anywhere the general public may go. There are situations where a service dog may be excluded, and sterile environments is one of them. If the disabled handler is in an sterile operating room and the hospital bans anyone not involved from entering due to infection control, i.e. relatives and other non-hospital person are EXCLUDED, then the service dog may be excluded as well. Many hospitals have windows that look in on the operating room where those that are excluded may watch, many times the service dog is placed there to observe and see their handler, through glass.
If the ICU is not a sterile environment, i.e. relatives can walk in with street cloths, then the service animal must be allowed in.
