BARNA National Audit on Staffing in the Post Anaesthetic Care Unit – Results
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 December 2012
Abstract
This general audit on staffing the Post Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU) was commissioned as a result of discussions around staffing held at two British Anaesthetic and Recovery Nurses Association (BARNA) Talks seminars in November 2009 and March 2010. Audit forms were sent to all BARNA members and made available on its website. One hundred audit forms were returned. The audit results clearly indicated that many problems exist in ensuring safe and appropriate staffing in the PACU at all times. The audit results highlighted the need for BARNA to take a lead in promoting information to inform PACU staff planning and to make this information freely available on its website.
