ABOUT DPH PROGRESSIVE CARE UNIT

(PCU)The Progressive Care Unit at Dr. Phillips Hospital is a 48-bed unitThis 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.
