The environment, B4/5 (5B-West) is a 27 acuity adaptable bed unit, providing care to adult patients from a variety of specialty areas, with the emphasis on the cardiothoracic surgery patient population. The
majority of patients on B4/5 are post-surgical inpatients that have undergone coronary artery bypass, valve replacement (aortic, mitral, and pulmonic), valve repair (aortic, pulmonic, tricuspid, and mitral), and thoracotomy for wedge resection, pneumonectomy, lobectomy,
esophagogastrectomy, or photodynamic therapy. In addition, transplant patients (heart, lung, or heart/lung) during all phases of transplantation (pre-transplant evaluation, post-operative, annual evaluation, and acute/chronic organ rejection) are treated medically or with assist devices such as ventricular assist devices. A small number of patients are unable to safely wait for organ transplant at home and stay on the unit pre-transplant until an organ becomes available. B45 has 27 acuity adaptable beds. We staff up to 8 ICU and 6 IMC beds. The goal of the acuity adaptable models is to provide seamless care from the time of admission to the time of discharge. Patients are admitted to any room in this unit and the nursing care revolves around the patient depending on their acuity. A Primary Nurse is assigned to every patient within 24 hours of admission. Primary Nurse develops and reviews the plan of care based on admission and ongoing assessments, personalizes
the plan according to the patient?s unique needs, discusses the plan with patient/family, communicates the plan to colleagues and other care providers, and modifies the plan as needed.
We provide paid private housing and an excellent benefits package. Call your Aureus Rep for more details today 1-800-856-5457!
