  5. Role of a PACU nurse?

    born2circulateRN replied to born2circulateRN's topic in PACU

    Well I mean after the patients come from the OR - anesthesia is still within their system from the surgery, right? When they are transferred to the PACU, they are still able to exhale anesthesia into...
