Introduction Acute complex care is an important aspect of contemporary nursing practice, as health care teams need to work together and assess the usefulness of their interventions. Coronary artery disease is one of the major causes of increased mortality and morbidity in the developed world (Cassar et al., 2009). Complex health problem require extra care and this has a direct impact on both carers and patients. Acutely ill patients provide a challenge to the healthcare profession as they are more vulnerable and hence there is a need to ensure that there is quality of care for critically ill patients. Similarly, advancement in the medical field and technological improvement have led patient care to be more complex than ever before, necessitating the need for acute complex care. In any case, implementation of acute care is necessary to assess the success of managing critically ill patients, while also looking into both professional and legal aspects of acute complex care.
