Cardiac Surgery Recovery in Bogotá
Bogotá is Colombia’s cardiac-surgery capital — Fundación Cardioinfantil, Shaio, and FCI draw international patients for valve replacements, bypass, and complex cardiovascular procedures. Cardiac recovery is a different kind of nursing: continuous monitoring, careful medication titration, and a calm presence overnight when anxiety is highest.
What we handle
Everything your surgeon discharges you with, done correctly
- Continuous vital-sign monitoring (BP, HR, oxygen saturation)
- Anticoagulant management — the most important medication in cardiac recovery
- Wound and sternotomy site care
- Pulmonary rehabilitation exercises on schedule
- Recognizing early warning signs (arrhythmia, fluid retention, infection)
- Coordinating with your cardiologist and surgeon
- Overnight presence — the highest-risk hours after cardiac surgery
Cardiac patients should never spend the first week alone overnight. The complications that matter — atrial fibrillation, fluid retention, wound infection — present quietly and at 3am. Our nurses have specific cardiac-recovery training.
