About the Unit

This specialized unit comprises 16 beds dedicated to cardiovascular and cardiothoracic patient care. The primary focus is on the recovery of patients following open-heart surgeries and CABG procedures.

Patients recovering from CABG will typically spend 2-3 days in the ICU. The unit caters to a diverse patient population, including those requiring ICU-level care for cardiac procedures, open-heart surgeries directly from the operating room, vascular and thoracic surgeries, TAVR procedures, and STEMI interventions.

The nurse-to-patient ratio is typically 1:2 for standard ICU patients, with a ratio of 1:1 for high-acuity cases. There may be instances where the ratio could adjust to 1:3 based on staffing requirements and overall unit acuity.
