The Cardiac ST3/4 block

ICU East Unit (CRU or CICU or A6a ward)

During the hours of the working day there is a designated CICU consultant.

Out of hours it is covered by a CICU consultant and all referrals or concerns must be discussed with the consultant on-call.

There are 2 ward rounds a day.

We should have 1-2 residents, an SpR and a CICU consultant.

THE FIRST CASE ON EVERY CARDIAC LIST MUST BE SEEN THE NIGHT BEFORE. IF YOU ARE OFF (ON THE ROTA), THE SHO ON-CALL WILL SEE THE PATIENT.
