Telemetry and continuous monitoring

All these wards have facilities for monitoring patients’ heart rhythm continuously using telemetry. The Coronary Care Unit is recognised as an Intensive Care unit. Telemetry and the Coronary Care Unit are intended for patients who require specific, continuous monitoring. For example due to:
