Cardiac Type patients
CCU collectors do not collect data on CCU (Cardiology) pts that are located in MICU or ICCS. Instead these pts are put as MICU or CICU location with cardiac type. The MICU or CICU collector is responsible for these patient profiles. If the pt care is transferred to the MICU attending, the profile will be restarted and it will be a medical type, instead of cardiac type.
Must remember to start a new TISS if the patient is transferred to the MICU physician's care.
Labs
Remember to count cardiac MRI, echos and angiograms in the labs.
- With the STB Electronic Patient Record we do not count most labs or pharms until the patient is discharged from the unit, it is the last thing we do.--LKolesar
Code STEMI
Some heart attack patients go straight to the heart cath lab directly from EMS. See STEMI for collection instructions for such patients.
Cardiac Care patients
See STB Cardiac Care patients for information specific to the cardiac service care patients in the STB MICU/SICU unit.
