Patient recovery and the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU)
Abstract
Patient recovery is the time from the end of anaesthesia/surgery to regaining full control of airway reflexes. During recovery immediate postoperative complications may arise. Major complications arise in 3e17% of inpatient surgical procedures. These complications should be managed either in theatre or in a designated recovery area (post-anaesthesia care unit).
