There are lounge chairs and a television in this room, providing a comfortable setting for the rest of your stay. Your family or friend will also join you for your recovery. Patients having general anesthesia will rest in bed until awake enough to progress to a lounge chair. The length of stay in the second phase recovery room is determined by your needs. The Saint Vincent Surgery Center has a separate pediatric recovery room especially designed to meet the needs of our young patients.
Lounge chairs are available so our parents can comfortably hold their little ones during recovery.
We also expect our patients to walk a short distance and to begin to take cool liquids before discharge. This is especially important for those children having tonsillectomies. I was most impressed with the care and concern and attention of the nurses, anesthesiologist and doctor. I was completely satisfied and impressed with my care. For your family At the Saint Vincent Surgery Center, we do things a bit differently.
