Unit Details:
4 West is a 27 bed acute medical step down unit with remote telemetry capability. 4 West has 27 private rooms which includes one negative airflow room. Most 4 West admissions come from the Emergency Department, although PACU and direct admissions are also accepted. Major diagnoses represented in our patient population include Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Gastrointestinal Bleeding, End Stage Renal Disease, Cardiac Dysrhythmias, and electrolyte imbalances which require cardiac monitoring. Patients who are chronically ventilator dependent are part of 4 West's patient population, as are patients receiving peritoneal dialysis and patients who are receiving hemodialysis for the first time. 4 West is also a primary stroke unit and cares for patients who do not receive thrombolytic therapy for initial treatment, as well as those who have completed 24 hours of post-thrombolytic care in Intensive Care.
Patients admitted to 4 West generally require a higher level of care than is provided on a medical/surgical unit and a lower level of care than is provided in Intensive Care units. Any patient who is ventilator dependent or receiving peritoneal dialysis will be admitted to 4 West unless they require intensive or intermediate care. Specialized treatment needs of this patient population include:
Hemodynamic monitoring, including EKG, pulse oximetry, and capnography
Care of temporary and permanent dialysis catheters
Mechanical ventilation of patients who are chronically dependent or are being weaned over a long period of time (all of these patients have tracheostomies)
Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis
