step-down unit
Generally, patients are transferred to the Step-Down Unit from the Critical Care Unit approximately 24 hours after their cardiac bypass surgery. (Skaggs)
To work in a step-down unit, nurses need special training, which may be obtained at an area hospital. They are expected to closely monitor patients recently released from the intensive-care unit before those patients are moved to regular hospital beds. (StarTribune.com)
The average stay in a CCU is five days, after which most patients are transferred to a hospital's step-down unit for less intensive care. (About.com)
