The effect of provision of information on serum cortisol in patients transferred from the coronary care unit to the general ward: A randomised controlled trial
Hospitalised patients in coronary care units may be transferred to general wards or other hospitals to receive appropriate care (Meleis et al., 2000).

After the acute phase of the disease, patients in intensive and coronary care units usually experience several courses of transfer. One of the most important transfer courses happens from the coronary care unit to general ward (Chaboyer, 2005; Tel and Tel, 2006). (Source: Intensive and Critical Care Nursing)

The future of family-centred care in intensive care
In true keeping with the concept of family-centred care where families are partners in healing, this Editorial is provided to you by a unique author team: a nurse and Chair of an international guidelines taskforce (JED) and a wife of sepsis survivor in Critical Care (SAS).
