General Surgery The Moncton Hospital's General Surgery Unit prepares patients for surgery (if not admitted via the Day of Surgery Admission Unit) or for special procedures, and provides care for the post-operative patient. The unit has approximately 35 beds and is located on the fifth floor of the hospital. The unit offers critical care service for vascular, thoracic and burns to residents of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and northern Nova Scotia. General Surgery provides pre- and post-operative care to patients receiving the following surgeries: general, pancreatic, thoracic and vascular, eyes, ears, nose and throat, urology, plastics and burns. Burn patients and their families also receive special emotional care due to the severity of this type of condition. The multidisciplinary team includes nurses, physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, social workers, infection control, respiratory therapists, pastoral care, clerical staff and ward aides. The nurse coordinator specializing in burns provides "hands-on" teaching to new employees in the care of burn patients. The enterostomal nurse assists patients and their families in dealing with the care of an ostomy (a permanent artificial opening to the body). Both nurses provide staff with up-to-date training, products and procedures. Approximately 1,500 patients are admitted to General Surgery at The Moncton Hospital each year. Mission To promote healthy lifestyles and deliver quality health care services to a progressive and growing region.  Back to top |
