Highlights of CCU

• • Well equipped
  • Trained manpower
  • 24*7 supported by experienced Consultants

 

• The Coronary Care Unit (CCU) cares for patients who have heart disease and occasionally other medical or surgical problems.
• Conditions such as myocardial infarction (heart attack), angina (chest pain), left ventricular failure (LVF) and arrhythmias (abnormal heart beats) are common reasons to be admitted to CCU.
• A patient having a heart attack may be admitted directly to the CCU, transferred to the Cardiac Angiography Suite for a primary coronary (cardiac) angioplasty and then returned to the CCU for ongoing care. Patients with cardiac chest pain, but not having a heart attack, may be admitted to the CCU before and/or after the placement of stents in coronary blood vessels.
• Patients with acute shortness of breath as a result of the heart not pumping efficiently (LVF), are given medication and helped to breathe. A patient with an abnormally fast, slow or irregular heart beat may be admitted to the CCU so that we can monitor heart rate and rhythm and provide treatment.
• The CCU can monitor the heart's rhythm, blood pressure and oxygen levels continuously, and the nursing team record and interpret heart traces (electrocardiogram/ECG). While a patient is in the CCU a cardiologist may perform a specialized test, such as echocardiography, Holter monitoring and others as needed.
• Most patients in the CCU can breathe without the assistance of a machine (ventilator) - though some will need oxygen (either by nasal prongs or mask). Patients who need additional support from a ventilator will be transferred to the intensive care unit.
