The
Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital
is comprised of 10 stations designed for the care of patients
following their surgery. A variety of surgical specialties
are performed on a daily basis in the operating room and then
recovered in PACU. We see patients from General Surgery, Neurosurgery,
Plastic/reconstructive, Orthopedics, Gynecological oncology,
Urological, Otolaryngology and Endoscopy.
The PACU team is comprised of RNs and Health Care Assistants. Prior experience
in a PACU, ICU or ER is preferred. ACLS and PALS certifications are required
or completed within 3 months after hire.
