The nursing team of transplant surgery is characterized by exceptionally high professional quality and a high level of social competence. The certified nurses work closely with the medical team led by Prof. Stefan Schneeberger according to the latest scientific standards, thereby ensuring excellent care for the patients. The nursing team of transplant surgery consists of certified health and nursing professionals (DGKP) and nursing assistants (PA), who are divided into two teams and fully staff both the general ward and the intensive care unit around the clock, 365 days a year. At the center of our actions is the person in the hospital. Through a resource‑oriented and individually planned nursing process, we strive to accompany each of our patients in the best possible way throughout their hospital stay, promote their recovery, and optimally prepare them for discharge.

We try to achieve these goals through:

• Control and monitoring of all relevant processes between admission and discharge, with a primary focus on efficient collaboration with and between the various health professions and specialist departments
• Promotion or support of mobilization and independence in the sense of MH kinaesthetics
• Promotion and support of the healing process through phyto-aroma care
• Competent wound care (supported when needed by specially trained wound managers)
• Administration of medication therapy
• Bloodmanagement
• Modern pain management within the framework of interprofessional collaboration
• Comprehensive patient education prior to discharge
• Counselling and support for patients and their relatives regarding post‑discharge care options by the treating team and/or social services/discharge management nursing (EMP)

Additionally in the intensive care area:

• Execution of renal replacement therapies by academically trained specialists
• 24-hour care by an intensive care specialist
• Interprofessional collaboration within the scope of organ perfusion
