The Registered Nurse (RN) in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) provides specialized care to critically ill patients with cardiovascular conditions, including those recovering from open-heart surgery, severe heart attacks, heart failure, arrhythmias, or other serious cardiac events.

The CVICU RN will work as part of a multidisciplinary team to ensure the highest standard of care for patients in a high-acuity setting.

Key Responsibilities

• Patient Assessment:
• Perform comprehensive assessments of critically ill patients with cardiovascular conditions, including evaluation of cardiac rhythm, hemodynamics, and other vital signs.
• Monitor and assess patients post-cardiac surgeries (e.g., coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacement) and interventional procedures (e.g., angioplasty, stent placement).
• Identify changes in patient condition and take immediate action to prevent deterioration.
• Critical Care Management:
• Administer complex medications and treatments for cardiovascular patients, including vasoactive drugs, antiarrhythmic medications, and anticoagulants, according to protocols.
• Monitor and adjust invasive monitoring devices such as arterial lines, central venous pressure (CVP) lines, pulmonary artery catheters, and ventilators.
• Provide life-saving interventions in emergencies, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or assisting with intubation and other emergency procedures.
• Post-Operative Care:
• Provide intensive monitoring and care for patients post-cardiac surgery or catheter-based procedures.
• Manage ventilator support and weaning, post-operative drainage, and ensure adequate pain management.
• Assess and manage complications, such as bleeding, arrhythmias, or signs of organ failure.
• Collaboration:
• Work closely with cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare providers to develop and implement patient care plans.
• Communicate with the patient’s family about their condition, prognosis, and the next steps in care.
• Patient Education:
• Educate patients and families on the recovery process, cardiac health, medications, lifestyle modifications, and long-term care needs.
• Provide emotional support to patients and families during critical and recovery phases.
• Documentation:
• Accurately document assessments, interventions, outcomes, and changes in patient status in the electronic medical record (EMR).
• Ensure all procedures and patient responses are documented according to facility and regulatory standards.
• Safety & Infection Control:
• Adhere to strict infection control protocols, especially in managing invasive lines and surgical sites.
• Ensure safe handling and disposal of hazardous materials and medications.
• Provide a clean and safe environment for patients, reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infections.
• Emergency Response:
• Act quickly and effectively in response to cardiovascular emergencies, including arrhythmias, acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), or respiratory failure.
• Utilize advanced equipment, such as defibrillators, and collaborate with the healthcare team in high-pressure situations.
• Mentorship and Education (if applicable):
• Serve as a preceptor or mentor to new nursing staff and nursing students in the CVICU.
• Participate in continuing education and professional development to stay current with advances in cardiovascular care and ICU practices.
