Critical Care Unit
The Critical Care Unit is a 14-bed unit located at the south end of the third floor. The purpose of this unit is to provide intensive clinical services to critically ill patients in the most proficient, cost effective manner, utilizing a highly skilled multidisciplinary team and specialized equipment.
CCU seeks to provide a holistic approach to the nursing care of the critically ill patient, prevention of complications, and restoration of the patient to a stable condition. The nursing care consists of assessment, problem identification, and implementation of a planned intervention, evaluation of effectiveness of care as well as the patient's response to medical and nursing therapy.
CCU provides an environment in which optimal care can be delivered to the patient during a critical illness. The environment of the unit provides a setting that is conducive with promoting rest and meeting the patient's spiritual, physical and emotional needs. The nursing staff of CCU maintains a high level of knowledge and specialty skills current in critical practice by regularly attending appropriate inservices and education.
The Critical Care Unit at Lenoir Memorial prides itself on the ability to assess the needs of the critically ill patient and the patient's family members. A holistic approach to excellent patient care is maintained and reviewed each shift with the use of a team approach to total patient care. CCU has the ability to monitor the patient closely with the specific use of hemodynamic monitoring equipment as well as heart, blood pressure, temperature, and oxygen levels.
