Adequate Post-Anesthesia Care Unit
In the post-anesthesia care unit, where I currently practice. Adequate post-surgical pain management is of the primary goals upon the admission of a patient after a surgical procedure. The Practice Guidelines for Acute Pain Management in the Perioperative Setting described favorable recommendations to achieve these aims. Therefore, obtain positive postoperative health care outcomes, as well as an improve patient’s surgical experience, which may translate to higher quality of care and better patient satisfaction. Consequently, I believe, that the staff members of the PACU would be highly receptive to use these recommendations as our focus is to provide the best health care possible to our post surgical patients.
