Thanks Cindy, Our Doctors have written standing orders for us to follow. We pull back to CVP when our CABG patients are extubated. I have been caring for a long term patient with IABP (over 10 days)....
I'm new to the CCU where I work and our hospital policy is to wedge q 1 hr on fresh hearts and if meds are titrated or new cardiac meds are added then go to q 2 hrs. and
