This state-of-the-art telemetry unit, located in Cambridge Tower A, encompasses a culture of teamwork and support in a fast-paced environment focused on making a difference in patient’s lives. We focus on high quality metrics and safe, compassionate care to our patients with our multi-disciplinary partnerships. Our acuity includes a mid to high level patient population. This surgical unit is dedicated to the care of the Neurosurgery and Surgical Oncology patient populations. Nurses will work with a team of Neurospecialists in Neurosurgery and nationally ranked surgeons specifically for Oncology patients. Our patient population includes, but is not limited to craniotomy for tumors, arteriovenous malformations, and intra cranial aneurysms, craniocerebral trauma, spinal cord injury, inter vertebral disk and bony abnormalities of the spine requiring surgical intervention, surgical intervention for chronic pain and/or spasticity management, hydrocephalus, hemorrhagic stroke, sub arachnoid hemorrhage, and patients requiring surgical intervention to alleviate symptoms, disorders, and cancer related to the pancreas, gastrointestinal system, thyroid and parathyroid glands, and other applicable systems/organs. Technology utilized in this state of the art unit will include telemetry monitoring systems, some hemodynamic monitoring, and specialized neurologic monitoring including pupillometry, external ventricular drainage, and lumbar drainage. Our patient centered nursing team has a passion for this specialty and appreciates the challenges and rewards on our units. Our patients are so special and appreciative and have a unique perspective on life. Our nurse to patient ratio is typically 4:1 and nurses spend time working with patients on both units.
