Post-Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU) group

The Task and Finish report for critical care (2019) recommended the expansion of post anaesthetic care units (PACU) to offer enhanced care for high risk, post operative patients.

The group is currently focused on specialist education for staff working in the area, supporting health boards to implement PACU beds and developing a dataset to capture outcomes of PACU patients and demonstrate how PACU beds support the Welsh Government Planned Care Recovery Plan.
