title: Toward 2001. The recovery room revisited.
abstract: Recovery room nursing is more accurately described by the term "post-anaesthesia nursing." Issue of patient safety, standards of care and staff training in the recovery room have been highlighted by the Association of Anaesthetists in two reports. Current training and education provision for post-anaesthesia nurses is provided by combined operating department nursing and anaesthetic nursing curricula (ENBI182:83). There are few courses designed for nurses who specialize in the care of the post-anaesthesia patient.
