Interesting, I cannot imagine sending a patient out with a swan. Do they wedge on PCUs too? We generally stabilize the patient on a Milrinone dose then transfer. The MD can then order titration of the dose as needed based on the patient's status.

If they are wanting to send balloon pumps to the step down & Levophed gtts to the floor, what exactly qualifies a patient for ICU status in your hospitals??
