PACU (which stands for Post- Anesthesia Care Unit) is also called the recovery room. It is a specialized care unit near the operating room where patients who have had surgery are
cared for as they wake up from anesthesia.
I am trying to provide electrical outlets at patient bed inside a PACU area of a healthcare facility. I am wondering if PACU is considered Critical care area?
This will change the outlet quantity that we need to provide at patient bed per NEC-517. Thanks.
