What is a "recovery room"?
A recovery room is a specific area within a hospital where patients are taken immediately after undergoing surgery or a medical procedure. It is specifically designed to monitor patients as they wake up from anesthesia and recover from surgery. In the recovery room, healthcare professionals such as nurses and anesthesiologists closely monitor vital signs, manage pain, and ensure patients are comfortable and their condition improves before they are transferred to a regular hospital room or discharged to go home.
Examples
Visitors may join patients in the recovery room once they are fully awake.
