Department Description
The Perianesthesia (Preop) and Post-Anesthesia Care Units (PACU) at Parnassus comprises 37 combined Preop and PACU beds, in addition to a Procedure department. The Parnassus Perianesthesia Department unit is a fast-paced, high-acuity, and high-volume patient care unit.
The Perianesthesia department can see up to 80+ patients a day. The unit utilize its one (1) procedural suite and its accompanying four (4) beds for transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE), Cardioversion, electro-cardioversion (ECT) or preparing patients for surgery and recovering them. There is a variety of patient populations and surgical specialties, including but not limited to: General Surgery, Genitourinary, Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology, Maxillofacial, Orthopedics, Neurosurgery, Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Spine, Cardiac, Vascular, Transplant, Plastics, and Dental. In addition to the surgical services, the Perianesthesia Department receives and recovers patients from inpatient procedural areas, such as those requiring cardiac catheterization/electrophysiology lab, endoscopy suites, interventional radiology, and MRI.
The patient population has multiple levels of acuity from same-day (“come-and-go”) surgical patients to those patients requiring intensive care management. The registered nurse must be comfortable performing timely and detailed physical assessments and appropriately address pain levels, while quickly recognizing and responding to any change in a patient’s condition.
This rapid pace requires nurses to manage multiple tasks, have exceptional clinical and critical thinking skills, teamwork and professional collaboration, communication, and have excellent bedside manner to both patients and their family members. The registered nurse must have the ability and knowledge to provide the best possible care to multiple patients, as they transition from the operating room, into the PACU, and eventually their next stage of care and recovery.
