Burns School of Medicine Pediatrics and OB/GYN residency programs.
The Post Anesthesia Care Unit forms part of our Perioperative Services continuum, and provides full support throughout the duration of a patient's surgical procedure, including ward admission, anesthesia, surgery and recovery. Professional care includes identification of the patient’s individual needs, patient care plan development and implementation and the coordination of nursing service to restore the patient’s health after a surgical procedure.
