This unit provides specialized care for patients who are too stable for the intensive care unit but require more monitoring and medical attention than can be provided in a PCU floor. Types of patients treated in this unit are post‑surgical patients, respiratory patients (COPD, Pneumonia, non‑invasive ventilation), sepsis/infections, chronic illness exacerbations (diabetes, kidney failure) and more. PCUs bridge the gap between ICU and standard care units by providing telemetry, continuous monitoring, and specialized nursing for patients who are improving but still at risk for complications. This allows for a seamless transition in care while ensuring patient safety and recovery.
