Description

About the unit

7MHC is a 46-bed unit that cares for cardio-thoracic patients after surgery. We specialize in both cardiac, pulmonary and transplant care. Our primary patient populations are post-operative coronary artery bypass (CABG), cardiac valve surgeries, lung surgeries, heart, and lung transplant, and VAD patients (an artificial heart pump). We admit post-surgical patients' day of surgery, after the cardiovascular recovery unit or from the Cardiothoracic ICU (CTCC) depending on their procedure and clinical needs. If a patient needs intensive care, they are transferred to CTCC and return to us when their condition has stabilized. Our patients are very complex and require medical, physical, and emotional support. This is an exciting unit to work with each shift providing clinically complex care for patients with high acuity needs such as drains, wounds, high risk medications and monitoring.

Strong clinical skills in cardiac, pulmonary, and post-surgical assessment are necessary. Examples are rhythm assessment, identification of abnormalities with cardiac and pulmonary auscultation and surgical site management.
