Post Anesthetic Care Unit (PACU) & Day Surgery
Following surgery patients are transferred to the PACU for recovery. Patients will be closely monitored by Registered Nurses until awake and comfortable and will be transferred to either C5 inpatient unit or to the Day Surgery department. During this transition patients will be asked to participate in the transfer of care between the nursing staff.
While in the Day Surgery Department area patients are continued to be monitored and will receive post-operative education and any prescriptions if required.
