The Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) is a specialized area in a hospital where patients are monitored after undergoing surgery or other procedures that require anesthesia. In this unit, healthcare professionals ensure that patients wake up safely from anesthesia and recover from its effects. They check vital signs, manage pain, and watch for any complications. Patients typically stay in the PACU for a few hours until they are stable enough to be moved to a regular hospital room or discharged home. The staff in the PACU, including nurses and anesthesiologists, provide personalized care to help patients feel comfortable and secure during their recovery.
