  1. Why do you like PACU nursing?

    almostretired replied to Lefty26's topic in PACU
    According to ASPAN standards, 2 licensed nurses are present in PACU whenever a patient is recovering in Phase I.

  2. Aldrete Score

    almostretired replied to kastas's topic in General Nursing
    The original Aldrete Score is no longer used in post aneshesia care units (PACUs). The last category which addresses color is not a good indicator of oxygenation. The modified Aldrete score is now being used which addresses oxygenation: Oxygen Saturation SpO2 > 92% 2 SpO2 92% or greater with supplemental O2 1 SpO2 supplemental O2 0 A score of 9 or return of pre-anesthesia status is usually required for a patient to be discharged from the PACU. A current post anesthesia book will have an explanation of this scoring system.
