In modern perioperative care, PACU nurses stand at one of the most crucial crossroads in patient safety - the transition from anesthesia to stable recovery. The PACU Nursing Manual by NYSORA is designed to give nurses the structure, clarity, and confidence to manage this critical phase effectively.
Written by a team of internationally recognized anesthesiologists and PACU nurse educators, the manual bridges the gap between anesthesia and nursing, transforming complex clinical expertise into clear, bedside-ready guidance.
PACU nursing requires quick thinking, precision, and multidisciplinary teamwork - yet structured, accessible education for this role remains limited. The PACU Nursing Manual provides a comprehensive framework for safe, efficient post-anesthesia recovery, combining evidence-based content with the concise, actionable tone for which NYSORA manuals are known.
It’s more than a reference; it’s an educational foundation for PACU nurses at every level.

Management of common post-anesthesia complications
Step-by-step guidance on airway and cardiac emergencies
Evidence-based strategies for pain, nausea, and delirium management
