The Cardiovascular and Vascular Surgery Intensive Care Units provide highly specialized, post-operative critical care for patients recovering from cardiac, thoracic, and vascular surgical procedures, including open and endovascular thoracic and abdominal aneurysm repairs. Patients are admitted directly from the operating room, where they receive expert critical care focused on stabilization, ventilator weaning, and recovery following surgery. The units also serve as a regional referral center for medically complex patients requiring advanced evaluation or management of post-surgical complications, including those previously consideredhigh riskor not candidates for surgery.
The patient population is clinically complex and may require advanced therapies such as intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), and thrombolytic therapy. Q5, the newest of the Cardiovascular ICUs, is a 19-bed unit specializing in robotic-assisted, minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Using advanced robotic technology, surgeons perform complex heart procedures through small incisions, allowing many patients to recover quickly, with most discharged from the unit within 24 hours while others require longer critical care based on their clinical needs.
