Cardiothoracic Critical Care By David Sidebotham, Andrew McKee, Michael Gillham, Jerrold Levy Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann Number Of Pages: 672. Recognition of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and initiation of argatroban therapy after cardiothoracic surgery in the intensive care unit. Bryn Mawr Hospital's CCU/Coronary Care Unit received the award last year, along with Lankenau Medical Centers' Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit and Intensive Care Unit. Their award will last until 2015. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a procedure traditionally used during cardiac surgeries and in the ICU that functions as an artificial replacement for a patient's heart and lungs, has also been used to resuscitate cardiac arrest victims The procedure requires 24/7 monitoring and care for the duration of the treatment, but provides a critical back-up for patients whose heart and lungs are so severely diseased or damaged that they can no longer function. CONCLUSIONS: Structured training and practice in the management of critically ill cardiac surgical patients and patients suffering a cardiac arrest leads to significant improvements in the speed and quality of care for these patients. The Center includes a ten bed cardiac intensive care unit, a sixteen bed step-down unit, an operating room and state of the art technology for diagnosis and treatment. A 67-year-old woman is transferred to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit (ICU) after undergoing repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Swain, who will be working with a group called Team Heart, is currently in his second fellowship program studying cardiac critical care at BWH through a program with Harvard Medical School. She has a 12-year history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Paciullo, PharmD, BCPSb, Jerrold H. Demma, MD, PhDa, Christopher A.
