Nursing in the Clinic for Cardiac Surgery

The focus on the general wards is on the pre- and post-operative care of patients who have had coronary artery surgery, reconstruction or replacement of heart valves or aortic disease. We also provide care for patients with pacemakers or defibrillator therapy. Our nursing team has many years of experience in the specialised post-operative care of patients with ventricular assist devices or after heart transplantation.

Interprofessional collaboration is a central component of patient care. Effective collaboration between nursing staff, doctors, physiotherapists and other professional groups ensures holistic care that takes into account both the physical and emotional needs of patients. Only through the close exchange and coordinated work of all specialists involved can optimal care and a speedy recovery of patients be guaranteed.

In a highly specialised and dynamic discipline such as cardiac surgery, the continuous professional development of nursing staff is of central importance. In order to offer patients the best possible care, nursing staff must always be up to date with the latest medical developments, techniques and nursing standards. Continuing education and training are therefore not only an important part of professional development, but also a guarantee for the high quality of nursing care.
