AbstractPatients in the perioperative and postanesthesia care unit (PACU) experience several transitions in patient care at the same time that the majority of major morbidities will arise. The transitions for these patients are at the critical juncture between surgery and a steady sustained recovery. Historically these important medical problems have been addressed as a nonformalized process. The authors have introduced a formalized process, based on interdisciplinary rounding strategies used in intensive care units, to attend patients and address problems.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
