The primary patient population includes post-operative CABG patients, who typically recover in the ICU for 23 days, as well as patients requiring ICU-level care after complex cardiac and vascular interventions.

Patients include those admitted directly from the operating room following open-heart, vascular, or thoracic surgeries, as well as individuals undergoing TAVR procedures and STEMI interventions.
