Akron General’s 4200 Unit is a Complex Cardiovascular Unit that cares for a diverse patient population with high acuity. Patients that are cared for include: post open-heart surgery patients at day 3 from the CVICU, vascular surgery patients (amputations, fem/pop surgeries), lung surgeries (VATS procedure) that require patients to have a chest tube inserted for several days, irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation that requires titrated IV medication, post heart catheterization (PCI) patients that require frequent observation following the procedure, pacemaker implantations, heart attacks, congestive heart failure, and pulmonary embolism/DVT with IV anticoagulation. Due to the opioid epidemic related to heroin, this unit has an influx of patients who have endocarditis/infections of the spinal column that require frequent observation and multiple IV antibiotics and medications each shift. The patient focus is to ambulate all patients that can on admission, so caregivers are required and encouraged to walk with patients 3 to 5 times per day.
