About Medical B:
We are also known as 2 East, the Neuro/ Pulmonary/Stroke Unit
The most common pulmonary diagnoses we see are COPD, respiratory failure, asthma, and pneumonia. Our pulmonary patients may be on high flow oxygen, BiPAP, or have tracheostomies or chest tubes. These patients require complex assessment, aggressive therapies and interventions, and continuous nursing vigilance.
We work closely with the Stroke Coordinator to care for Acute Stroke and TIA patients. We do utilize tele-neuro services at times. Neuro patients require frequent assessments to assess for subtle changes in condition. Stroke education is provided.
- Located on 2nd floor of Tower A
- 21 Patient rooms
- 1:4 or 1:5 nurse to patient ratio
