Registered Nurse – Post-Anesthesia Care Unit - PACU

This expanding 23 bay unit provides immediate post-surgical care for patients who undergo surgery or other procedures requiring sedation/anesthesia. Nurses are responsible for assessing, diagnosing, intervening, evaluating, coordinating, and facilitating the concentrated care necessary in the immediate post anesthetic period for a multi-varied surgical patient population. Each patient receives continuous monitoring and observation as they emerge from the effects of sedation/anesthesia. For our critical care patient population this may include hemodynamic monitoring and/or titration of medications. Airway management and pain and comfort management are also a priority. Clinicians work closely with their surgical, anesthesia, and Pain Service colleagues to identify the most appropriate plan of care for the patient. Nurse to patient staffing ratio is most often one-to-one or one-to-two (and never exceeds one-to-three) providing the utmost in individual attention to each patient.
