title: The role of the recovery room for the safety of anesthesia.
abstract: Three groups of activities taking place in the recovery room are separately analyzed and compared with the same done on the wards. It is concluded that all three of them are preferably done in the recovery room. When these principles are followed, mortality in the direct postoperative period can be reduced to an absolute minimum. Data from 50,000 cases confirmed this statement.
