Recovery room

The recovery room, also known as the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), is a crucial area in a hospital where patients are taken after surgery for post-operative care.

Overview

The primary function of the recovery room is to provide a safe and controlled environment for patients to recover from the effects of anesthesia. This includes monitoring vital signs, managing pain, and ensuring the patient is stable before being transferred to a hospital ward or discharged home.

The recovery room plays a critical role in patient care. It is staffed by specially trained nurses and anesthesiologists who monitor the patient's condition and provide necessary care. This includes monitoring vital signs, managing pain, and ensuring the patient is stable before being transferred to a hospital ward or discharged home.
