 This
is where the patients are transferred after surgery, allowing them
to emerge fully from the effects of anesthesia under the watchful
eyes of skilled nursing personnel, and with anesthesiologist
consultation immediately available. While safety is the foremost
priority during surgery, it is also of utmost concern that the
patient be monitored and continually assessed while fully regaining
consciousness. The anesthesiologist decides when the patient has
recovered adequately to be sent home following outpatient surgery,
or
has been stabilized sufficiently to be moved to a regular room or
ward.
