CCU (Cardiac Care Unit)

Cardiac care units, or CCUs (acute coronary care units, cardiac intensive care units, or critical coronary care units in various hospitals), are specialist hospital wards dedicated to treating persons with severe or urgent heart diseases at Aaxis Hospitals.

CCUs were initially created to care for people with acute heart attacks. They also provide critical care to persons with the acute coronary syndrome, life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, severe heart failure, and people recuperating from cardiac surgery.

CCU is staffed around the clock at Aaxis Hospitals by nurses, technicians, and highly trained physicians to care for persons with significant cardiac diseases. In a CCU, the staff-to-patient ratio is typically substantially higher than in a regular hospital unit, allowing each patient to be closely observed at all times.

Specialized equipment for cardiac monitoring, diagnosis, and therapy is also widely available in CCUs. All CCU patients are placed on a cardiac monitor, which records and analyses each beat of their heart rhythm and warns the staff if dangerous arrhythmias occur. Some patients will additionally have temporary catheters inserted into a wrist artery to continuously monitor their blood pressure or a pulmonary artery to monitor their heart pressures. An intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) or a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) may be used to assist persons with severe heart failure in pumping blood. Because cardiac disorders can often result in substantial breathing difficulties, ventilators are also available.

People in a CCU may frequently require specialist testing. These tests, such as blood tests, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, and chest X-rays, can be performed immediately in the CCU.

CCUs are a subset of the more generalised intensive care unit, or ICU, which is used to treat critically sick patients with illnesses other than (or in addition to) cardiac disease. If a patient has a significant, acute, or unstable cardiac condition requiring minute-to-minute monitoring or specialised cardiovascular therapy, they are admitted to a CCU.

Acute heart attack or another kind of acute coronary syndrome is the most prevalent reason for admission to a CCU. People with these illnesses typically require ongoing therapy that may need to be changed regularly, and their condition is prone to abrupt, unexpected changes. Because they are monitored closely around the clock in a CCU, these changes can be identified quickly, and therapy can be modified accordingly. People recovering from cardiac bypass surgery, for example, frequently spend a few days in the CCU.

Decompensated heart failure patients are frequently treated in a CCU, mainly if they are exceptionally unwell or unstable or if they require a balloon pump or LVAD to stabilise their cardiovascular status. If a person has stabilised but severe heart failure and is awaiting immediate cardiac transplantation, they may be admitted to a CCU for intensive monitoring.
