Post Anesthetic Care Unit, Pediatrics

Following surgery, children are monitored until they can safely be moved to a hospital room.

The child is moved to the Post Anesthetic Care Unit following surgery for monitoring until they wake up from anesthesia.
Before leaving the PACU, the nurses make sure that:

  • your child's pain and nausea are being looked after
  • your child's breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen are where they should be
  • your child's surgical area is ready for healing
