It's been a while since I've done clinical nursing in cardiac area and I know standards are always changing. What is the current standard for monitoring of post CABG patients after the immediate post-op recovery? When moved to the unit and beyond how often are EKG and weights done? I&O? When I worked the floor (over a decade ago) I remember EKGs daily x 3 as well as with any chest pain unassociated with incision pain and with any rhythm changes, and daily weights and I&O until discharge. Is the standard the same? If not, what has changed? Any other monitoring indicators that have changed significantly?
