Urine output for pediatric urology the post-anesthesia care on safety and operating room efficiency

John Benett

Dexmedetomidine, which is usually utilized for procedural sedation and as assistant to general sedation for walking techniques, may influence patient release from the post-sedation care unit (PACU). We guessed that intraoperative dexmedetomidine use in walking a medical procedure is related with deferred release from the PACU and that this is altered by careful term and sedation type. Maximizing operating room (OR) efficiency is essential for hospital cost containment and effective patient throughput. Little data is available regarding the safety and efficacy of extubation of children in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) by a nurse rather than in the OR. We sought to evaluate the impact of a long-standing practice of PACU extubation upon airway complications and OR efficiency
