- Coronary care unit
A coronary care unit CCU or cardiac intensive care unit CICU is a hospital ward specialized in the care of patient s with myocardial infarction heart attack s, unstable angina , Cardiac dysrhythmia and in practice various other cardiac conditions that require continuous monitoring and treatment. Characteristics The main feature of coronary care is the availability of telemetry or the continuous monitoring of the cardiac rhythm by Electrocardiogram electrocardiography . This allows early intervention with medication , cardioversion or defibrillation , improving the prognosis. As cardiac arrhythmia arrhythmias are relatively common in this group, patients with myocardial infarction or unstable angina are routinely admitted to the coronary care unit. For other indications, such as atrial fibrillation , a specific indication is generally necessary, while for others, such as heart block , coronary care unit admission is standard. Local differences In the United States, coronary care units are usually subsets of intensive care unit s ICU dedicated to the care of critically ill cardiac patients. These units are usually present in hospitals that routinely engage in cardiothoracic surgery. Invasive monitoring such as with pulmonary artery catheter s is common, as are supportive modalities such as mechanical ventilation and intra aortic balloon pump s IABP . Certain hospitals, such as Johns Hopkins http www.hopkinsmedicine.org cardiology ccu.htm , maintain mixed units consisting of both Acute care units for the critically ill, and intermediate care units for patients who are not critical. Acute coronary care Acute coronary care units ACCU , also called critical coronary care units CCCU is equivalent to intensive care in the level of service provided. Patients with acute myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock , or post operative open heart patients commonly abide here. Subacute coronary care Subacute coronary care units SCCU , also called Progressive care units PCU , Interme ... more details
