They typically care for patients coming out of ICU or who have chronic health concerns requiring continuous monitoring who are at a higher acuity level than Tele. PCU nurses use different types of technology to monitor patients’ blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, breathing patterns, and heart activity, among other things. They also record and interpret the data from the monitors and use it to assess a patient’s rate of recovery.
