Recovery from surgery and anesthesia is an important subject about which little has been written. In the recovery room, immediate postoperative care is provided for patients as they regain consciousness after anesthesia. This guide provides practical advice and theoretical information to enable those working in recovery rooms to make the transition from anesthesia to consciousness as safe and easy as possible for their patients. The book is divided into three sections: setting up a recovery room; staffing and infection control; and patient care in the recovery room. Routine management of recovery from various types of surgery, management of patients with special needs, and handling emergencies are discussed in detail. An appendix containing useful data for reference is included, and the text is cross-referenced for easy use.
