About Our Location
The anesthesiology team at University of Vermont Health – Alice Hyde Medical Center is committed to providing compassionate, high quality and progressive care to patients throughout their anesthesia experience.
The Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) provides a safe environment for patients following an operative procedure for which anesthesia has been required.
Our staff is composed of registered and licensed practical nurses. Our nurses’ goal in the PACU is to plan nursing care aimed at assisting patients with a safe return to consciousness without complications or adverse reaction to drugs or treatments. An anesthesiologist is always available to assist the nurses in caring for their patients.
Your Visit
PACU nurses will provide warmed blankets for you, and if necessary, a special blanket through which warm air is circulated. Should you experience nausea or vomiting in the PACU, a nurse will administer medication through your IV line to alleviate your discomfort.
In consideration of patients’ confidentiality and privacy, visitors are not allowed in the PACU. Family members and friends are invited to stay in the designated waiting areas.
The surgeon will notify family members when the surgery is finished, and the patient is in the PACU. Exceptions to the visitation policy may be necessary for patients with special needs such as those needing a translator.
