Surgical Intensive Care Unit (CIT) & Intermediate Care (C-IMC)
The special professional challenge!Our day-to-day work is varied and includes the care of 18 intensive care perioperative patients in general and visceral surgery, trauma surgery, orthopaedics and urology. The focus of our ward is on complex diseases of the entire gastrointestinal tract and is managed by the medical team from General and Visceral Surgery. Restrictions in liver or kidney function require special infusion therapy. We provide extracorporeal procedures such as Albutec liver dialysis and hemodialysis.
Extensive wound therapies, drainage and catheter installations are carried out daily by doctors in our procedure room. We care for patients during and after short anesthesia.
As part of an interdisciplinary team, we accompany our patients until they are transferred to the normal ward. In addition to physiotherapy and occupational therapy, this includes an emergency paramedic who takes care of in-hospital transportation and assists with interventions, as well as pharmaceutical technical assistants who support us in the medication administration process.

We would be happy to discuss your development opportunities with us - just get in touch!
The future of nursing needs new, imaginative approaches. We are therefore relying on a new management structure and sharing the expertise of our ward managers:
- Nursing management
- nursing expertise
- Nursing education
This takes into account the extensive requirements in management, in the further development of nursing expertise and in the instruction of trainees and new employees.

The care of wounds is a focus of our daily work. We therefore continuously qualify colleagues as wound specialists.
The professional skills of our employees are important to us. That's why we offer internal specialist training in intensive care .
The professional skills of our employees are particularly important to us. That is why we offer in-house training in Intermediate Care.
The aim of our 14-month qualification program is to give you confidence when starting work in the intensive care unit. We would like to qualify you for your work in intensive care, avoid excessive demands and make it easier for you to settle into the working world of intensive care units.
During the practical assignments, the participants are accompanied and supported by experienced qualified staff, practical instructors and the head of the qualification program.
The practical assignments are accompanied by a theoretical qualification. The content includes clinical and equipment monitoring as well as the basics of infusion and medication therapy. The topic of ventilation is covered in greater depth in special "ventilation days".
In addition, regular coaching by the supervision service is integrated into the program. The appointments are mandatory and are taken into account by the responsible managers when planning duties. Participants are released from duty on the ward for this purpose.
Target group: The program is aimed at all new employees who start in the intensive care unit and consciously decide to work on a ward.
