Scope of Service
The Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) RN provides care for patients recovering from general, regional or local anesthesia. The immediate post anesthesia period includes patients who have surgical, obstetrical, diagnostic, or therapeutic procedures. Procedure types include: endoscopy, ENT, gynecology, neurology, orthopedic, plastic, thoracic, urology and vascular. PACU also provides extended recovery care overnight to patients requiring closer observation.
Activities vital to the care of post-anesthesia and post-operative patients include: monitoring vital signs, managing postoperative pain, monitoring the surgical site, treating symptoms of postoperative nausea and vomiting, treating post-anesthetic shivering and airway management. PACU RNs often coordinate the delivery of care for post-anesthesia patients following surgical procedures so the safety, physical, psychological and educational needs of the patients and family members are met.
