Text Extraction
Since many patients are fully awake, breathing comfortably
with stable vital signs as they leave the operating room.
They often fulfill the requirements for discharge from the
postanesthesia care unit (PACU) on arrival, and may be more
appropriately recovered in a step-down (Phase II) unit. This
concept, known as “fast-tracking”, enables patients to bypass
the more costly (and labor-intensive) PACU and be transferred
directly to a recovery area designed to assess patients’
home-readiness in preparation for discharge. In order to
successfully implement a fast-tracking program, prevention
of pain and emesis is critically important.
