The Cardiothoracic Ward cares for patients having a wide variety of cardiac or thoracic surgical procedures.
These include:
Patients' care usually starts before their surgery and continues post-operatively, once they have been discharged from Cardiothoracic Critical Care (CTCC).
The usual length of stay for a patient is around a week; however, some patients may require slightly longer recovery after their surgery.
The ward's patient population is a mixture of elective (patients who have been on the waiting list for surgery) and emergency admissions.
Patients are referred from within Oxford University Hospitals, by local district general hospitals, and from further afield for some specialist surgery.
