Department Description

The Pre-anesthesia (Preop) and Post-Anesthesia Care Units (PACU) at Mission Bay are comprised of 30 combined Preop and PACU beds. The team of over 30 Perianesthesia specialty nurses provide dynamic and compassionate care for a wide variety of adult patients following anesthesia.

The preoperative care area 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 for the following services: general surgery, orthopedic oncology, breast, plastics, urology, gynecology (benign and oncology), radiation oncology, head and neck, colorectal and endoscopy.

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 while under the support of the Unit Director and Assistant Unit Director.
