Woody Stewart Heart Failure is a 24‑bed Intermediate Care Unit. Patients include LVAD patients, patients with low EF, heart failure patients that need IV diuretics (Lasix drips and Bumex) and cardiac drips. The majority have PA catheters that require CVP monitoring. Bedside and central nurses’ station continuous cardiac monitoring is used; telemetry monitoring provided by the Central Monitoring Unit. Early ambulation and strict I’s and O’s are part of every patient's treatment plan.

Patients admitted or transferred to this area are assessed, educated, monitored, cared for, and treated. Education is a big part of what we do; patients learn how to adjust to a life with heart failure.
