Recovery Room Teams

Recovery Room Nurses ensure that patients are stable following surgery. Post-anesthesia care involves monitoring of vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse rate and breathing. Working with the patient's surgeon, Recovery Room Nurses also assist in pain management. Translator Alex Tapia helps the nurses communicate with their patients. 

Bev Runka (Pediatric Recovery Room Nurse) tests patient Mauricio's toes for circulation and sensation by observing skin colour and checking temperature.
