Department Description
The Perianesthesia Care Units at Bayfront Medical Center include the Pre-operative (prep), Post-Anesthesia Care Units (PACU), and the 23-hour stay. The team of peri-anesthesia specialty nurses provides dynamic, compassionate care for various surgical patients for adults and adolescents (13 and up) in the ambulatory care setting.
In preparing patients for surgery, we assure their readiness and provide preoperative teaching for patients and their families.

Our postoperative area cares for patients recovering from a wide variety of surgeries and procedures including, but not limited to general surgery, ophthalmology, GYN, GU, OHNS, robotics, and plastic surgery. An interdisciplinary team of nurses, surgeons, specialty physicians, anesthesiologists, and respiratory therapists work to initiate the recovery from surgery. The patient will either be discharged home after surgery or will stay overnight in the 23-hour unit.
