They are proficient in post-surgical care, advanced life-saving techniques, and emergency protocols. The team is specifically trained to manage complex patient needs, including post-cardiac catheterization recovery, peritoneal dialysis (PD), and the titration of intravenous drips and high-flow oxygen therapy. Their expertise ensures the delivery of optimal care for patients with varying levels of acuity, bridging the gap between general medical surgical care and intensive care needs.
