If heart cath show blockages and i get a stent, does that mean i will be admitted to icu ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely: In our facility all patients post intervention are admitted overnight to our ICU part of the CCU. This varies across the country and in different facilities. Call the nursing supervisor in your local hospital and ask this question. She/He will let you know what their standard procedure is for this clinical scenario.
