Can someone explain the difference between these units? I worked on a unit called tele and that meant Post CABG, pre and post cath, cardiac drips (nitro, diltiazem, etc.), pre and post any cardiac procedure performed at our hospital. We didn't take art lines so once those were out and they were stable they were ours. We regularly took patients from the ICU once they no longer required that level of care. Was that normal tele stuff or more like a CCU?
