The Cardiothoracic ICU (CT ICU) at Iswarya Hospital is a dedicated unit for patients recovering from heart and chest surgery. Recovery after cardiac surgery follows a different path from other operations, and this unit is staffed and equipped specifically for it.
Cardiac anaesthetists, cardiothoracic surgeons and specially trained nurses monitor heart rhythm, blood pressure and breathing continuously, and guide patients from the ventilator to walking, usually within the first day or two after surgery.
