The Preanesthesia (Preop) and Post-Anesthesia Care Units (PACU) at Parnassus comprise of 37 combined Preop and PACU beds in addition to one Procedure Room. The team of over 75 Perianesthesia specialty nurses provide dynamic, compassionate care for a wide variety of patients following anesthesia in all age groups.
This unit prepares patients for surgery, assures their readiness, and provides preoperative teaching for patients and their families. Our postoperative area cares for patients recovering from a wide variety of surgeries and procedures: general, vascular, thoracic, orthopedic, transplant, neurological, plastic, eye, bariatric, oro / nasal / facial, genitourinary, and Radiology. Electroconvulsive Therapy, Cardioversions, and TEEs are also performed in our procedure room with the assistance of our nursing team. The priority postoperatively is to physiologically stabilize patients, provide innovative pain management strategies, and integrate family-centered care. Once the patient is stable and awake, family members are encouraged to rejoin the patient. An interdisciplinary team of nurses, surgeons, specialty physicians, anesthesiologists, pain service physicians, and respiratory therapists work to initiate the recovery from surgery continued in the inpatient or outpatient setting. The Perianesthesia nurses work collaboratively with anesthesia providers, surgeons, and other members of the interdisciplinary team. In addition to the Unit Director and Assistant Unit Directors, this area is also supported by a Perianesthesia Nurse Educator. Required qualifications:
