A PACU Nurse’s primary responsibility is to ensure patients safely wake from anesthesia after surgery. They watch for and treat side effects such as difficulty breathing, agitation, nausea and trouble regaining consciousness. PACU Nurses decide if a patient is ready to leave the unit or if they need specialized care in the ICU. PACU Nurses are often the first person a patient interacts with after recovering from sedation. They provide reassurance and comfort to patients, as well as their families, who may be worried or upset following their procedure. They are also responsible for providing post-surgery care instructions for patients to follow at home.
