Early and multidisciplinary activation of rehabilitation procedures
The best post-acute management of the patient undergoing cardiac surgery implies the early and multidisciplinary activation of specific rehabilitation procedures, ensured by the physiotherapy service of Istituto Cardiocentro Ticino from the first postoperative phase in the intensive care unit.
For cases requiring subsequent inpatient rehabilitation, a close and effective collaboration between Istituto Cardiocentro Ticino and Clinica Hildebrand - Brissago Rehabilitation Center is also active.As part of this collaboration, a cardiologist from the Hildebrand Clinic performs part of his or her work at the Istituto Cardiocentro Ticino and completes its professional network of caretaking, setting up together with cardiac surgeons, cardiologists and physiotherapists a rehabilitation pathway that then continues at the Hildebrand Clinic. This ensures continuity of clinical and rehabilitative interventions and accelerates the patient's full recovery.
