As one of the busiest areas in any facility, your
Post-Op Recovery/ICU/Isolation
area must be able to handle multiple functions. It is critical that the proper equipment be
available in this area.
Keep the following in mind when designing and equipping your space:
• Patients and monitoring equipment must be constantly visible to your staff at all times.
• This area should be sterile. Equipment construction and material must stand up
to constant disinfecting.
• Quick access of oxygen in this area is essential.
• It is critical to have the right equipment in the right place. Aisles must be kept clean and
clear as this is an area where seconds count.
