What Is a Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)?
The Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), also known as the recovery room, is a specialized hospital area where patients are monitored immediately after surgery.

➡️ To full consciousness
➡️ With stable vital functions
Proper PACU management prevents life-threatening complications.
