Abstract:
The intensive care unit (ICU) was born from the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). In today's hospital systems, there remains a lot of overlap in the care missions of each location. The patient populations share many similarities and many of the same care, technology, and care protocols apply to patients in both units. As shown by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is immense value in maintaining protocols, processes, and staffing models for the safe care of ICU patients in the PACU when ICU demands exceed capacity.
