Overview

Registered nurses in the recovery room monitor patients in the period after a procedure under anaesthesia. The focus is on circulation, breathing and other organ systems, which are monitored clinically and by technical means. They provide appropriate pain therapy and stabilise patients in emergencies, up to and including resuscitation. In doing so they use medical devices for stabilising and treating the vital organs. They work partly independently and partly on delegation by physicians and document the care provided. They care for people of all ages, from newborns to older people.
