Your Care Team can be called at any time there is a concern about a patient’s condition.  An Intensive Care registered nurse and a Respiratory Therapist will be part of your Team.

Anyone – patient, family member, visitor, or hospital staff may call the Care Team by dialing Extension 7225.

• The patient seems to be getting “much sicker” quicker.

• Something doesn’t look right.

• Something doesn’t feel right.

• You notice a change in/or difficulty breathing.

• The patient’s heart rate changes.

• There is much more – much less – urine.
