    • Assess and manage complications, such as bleeding, arrhythmias, or signs of organ failure.
  • Collaboration:
    • Work closely with cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare providers to develop and implement patient care plans.
    • Communicate with the patient's family about their condition, prognosis, and the next steps in care.
  • Patient Education:
    • Educate patients and families on the recovery process, cardiac health, medications, lifestyle modifications, and long-term care needs.
    • Provide emotional support to patients and families during critical and recovery phases.
  • Documentation:
    • Accurately document assessments, interventions, outcomes, and changes in patient status in the electronic medical record.
    • Ensure all procedures and patient responses are documented according to facility and regulatory standards.
  • Safety & Infection Control:
    • Adhere to strict infection control protocols, especially in managing invasive lines and surgical sites.
    • Ensure safe handling and disposal of hazardous materials and medications.
    • Provide a clean and safe environment for patients, reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infections.
  • Emergency Response:
    • Act quickly and effectively in response to cardiovascular emergencies, including arrhythmias, acute myocardial infarction, or respiratory failure.
    • Utilize advanced equipment, such as defibrillators, and collaborate with the healthcare team in high-pressure situations.
  • Mentorship and Education:
    • Serve as a preceptor or mentor to new nursing staff and nursing students in the CVICU.
    • Participate in continuing education and professional development to stay current with advances in cardiovascular care and ICU practices.
