Additional monitoring to meet patient needs include SpO2 monitoring, non-invasive blood pressure, and arrhythmia detection. Nurses manage equipment such as temporary pace makers, chest tubes, central lines, nasogastric tubes, wound cares, and more depending on the needs of the patient. The unit environment encourages professional development of staff, focuses on teamwork, supports shared governance, and strives for continuous improvement through evidence-based practice.
