We get a report in person, but some of the PACU nurses will give a call to see if we are ready for the patient and let us know about any special setups we will need for the patient.

We typically get our reports by phone. Any additional info/questions can be handled when they bring the patient up to our floor.

PACU nurse and a PCA take the pt. to the floor. The PACU nurse gives report to the floor nurse in person. PACU calls ahead of time with a time estimate of when they will be bringing the pt. up.

The PACU nurse that brings the patient back to the room gives verbal report with the patient present.

[NJNursing, ASN, RN]

We get verbal report and if there's any additional questions I ask when they bring the pt up and then I typically read through the intraoperative and pacu reports just for any additional tidbits.
