Asper Institute on the St. Boniface Hospital campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our patient care unit provides special \u201cIntensive Care\u201d for people who have heart disease, or who have had heart surgery.&nbsp;Majority of&nbsp;patients are admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after heart surgery. Our ICU is called ICCS or CR5. Each patient will be continuously monitored. One nurse cares for one or two patients at a time. The team in our unit has special training for caring for the very ill. This allows them to give their patients highly skilled bedside care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our unit provides around the clock care for patients. The care of each patient is managed by an Intensive Care or Anesthesia specialist in partnership with the patient\u2019s surgeon. These doctors have special training in dealing with serious illness. As this is a teaching hospital, doctors&nbsp;and nurses&nbsp;in training may also be working in the unit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our Team<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team is comprised of nurses, doctors and other specialized healthcare professionals including: Cardiac Surgeons, Intensivists, Cardiac Anesthetists, Residents and Fellows, Program Team Manager, Clinical Resource Nurse and frontline Nursing staff, Health Care Aides, Ward\/Unit Clerks, Clinical Educator, Respiratory Therapists, X-Ray Technologists, Dieticians and Pharmacists.
