4 FLOOR
The Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) is located in
the hospital’s perioperative suite along with
the Ambulatory Surgery Unit and the Operating Rooms.
It is a modern, newly built, 18-bed unit consisting
of four separate rooms.
PACU nurses are experienced and educated in Advanced
Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). Many staff members are
certified in Peri-Anesthesia Nursing as well. Huntington
is one of the few hospitals which has bedside electronic
patient charting. PACU nurses are well-trained in the
use of this modern technology for closely monitoring
patients.
Families wait for their loved ones on the same floor
in a comfortable, spacious waiting room. Assisted
by hospital volunteers, the nurses maintain an open
line of communication with family members. Beepers
are provided to family members who need to leave the
waiting area, but wish to be contacted with updated
information on their family member having surgery.
