Post-Anesthesia Care Unit
Healthcare and Medical
The Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), sometimes called the recovery room, is a specialized hospital area where patients are closely monitored immediately after surgery as they wake from anesthesia. PACU nurses track vital signs, pain levels, and complications like nausea or breathing difficulty before clearing patients to move to a regular hospital floor or go home. It's a critical role in surgical and perioperative nursing, requiring quick assessment skills and knowledge of anesthesia recovery.
