Evaluation of Waste Anesthetic Gas in the Postanesthesia Care Unit within the Patient Breathing Zone
Potential health hazards from waste anesthetic gases (WAGs) have been a concern since the introduction of inhalational anesthetics into clinical practice. The potential to exceed recommended exposure levels (RELs) in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) exists. The aim of this pilot study was to assess sevoflurane WAG levels while accounting for factors that affect inhalational anesthetic elimin...
متن کاملA prospective cohort study of emergence agitation in the pediatric postanesthesia care unit.
UNLABELLED Emergence agitation (EA) is a postanesthetic problem that interferes with a child's recovery and presents a challenge in terms of assessment and management. In this prospective cohort study, we sought to determine the incidence of EA, evaluate factors associated with and predictive of EA, and describe associated outcomes in healthy children. Children aged 3-7 yr who were undergoing g...
متن کاملNoninvasive temperature monitoring in postanesthesia care units.
BACKGROUND Initial postoperative core temperature is a physician and hospital performance measure. However, the extent to which core temperature changes during emergence from anesthesia and transport from the operating room to the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) remains unknown. Similarly, the accuracy of many noninvasive temperature-monitoring methods used in the PACU has yet to be quantified....

متن کاملPostoperative pain management in the postanesthesia care unit: an update
Acute postoperative pain remains a major problem, resulting in multiple undesirable outcomes if inadequately controlled. Most surgical patients spend their immediate postoperative period in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), where pain management, being unsatisfactory and requiring improvements, affects further recovery. Recent studies on postoperative pain management in the PACU were reviewe...
