- Large quantities of clothing or other articles.
- Jewelry.
(The hospital is not responsible for the loss of money or other personal possessions.)

Bring the following items with you for your hospital stay. If you
arrived on an emergency basis, have a family member bring these basic items for you:
- Your valid Health Card and other health documents.
- Medications you are currently taking (prescription and non-prescription)
- Eyeglasses

- Non-skid slippers
- Pajamas, housecoat

Preparing for Surgery
Before, During and After Surgery
Immediately Before Surgery
- Makeup, nail polish, jewelry and hair clips will be removed before you go to surgery. Dentures or partial plates, contact lenses, eyeglasses, hearing aids and any other prosthesis will also be removed.
- A nurse will ask you to put on a patient gown if you have not already done so, and to go to the bathroom before going to the operating room.
- A nurse will check your pulse and blood pressure. A nurse may put a needle into your vein (IV or intravenous) to give you fluid and/or medications either while you are in your room or when you are in the operating room. You may also receive an oral medication to help you stay calm.
- A person from the operating room will come for you. You will be transported to the holding area for the operating room either by walking, in a wheelchair or lying on a stretcher.
- In the holding area, the anesthesiologist will speak to you. You may also ask to see the surgeon if you have further concerns. The nurse will come and take you into the operating room.
During Surgery
- All the staff in the operating room wear special clothing, caps and masks. The room is very bright and cool.
- A nurse or technician will greet you and check your identification bracelet. They will also ask you if you have any allergies.
- They will help you to get comfortable on the operating table and may position your arms or legs.
- A heart monitor and blood pressure cuff will be attached to your chest to help check your vital signs during surgery.
- A device that looks like a clothespin (oximeter) will be attached to your finger to measure the amount of oxygen in your blood.
- The time you will spend in the operating room is estimated. If your surgery takes longer it does not mean that anything is wrong.
After Surgery
- After surgery they will wake you in the operating room, but you will probably not remember. Then you will be moved into the Recovery Room (Post Anesthesia Care Unit, PACU) where the nurse will continue to try to wake you. This room may seem noisy and bright as you awaken. There will be other patients in the Recovery Room.
- Your vital signs will be checked frequently.
- If you need oxygen, you will have a mask or tubing on your face.
POST ANESTHESIA CARE UNIT (PACU)
Once surgery has been completed, you will be brought to the recovery room, also called the post-anesthesia care unit (also called PACU). In the recovery room, registered nurses, anesthesiologists, and other healthcare professionals will closely monitor you as you “awaken” from anesthesia. The length of time spent in recovery depends on the type of surgery performed, your response to surgery and anesthesia, and your medical condition. While you are in recovery, the staff will (when applicable) complete the following:
- monitor vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, and breathing
- monitor for any signs of complications
- take your temperature
- monitor your level of consciousness
- check tubes or drains
- check the wound
- check intravenous (IV) infusions
- monitor your urine output
- maintain your comfort with pain medication and body positioning.
- make sure you are awake enough to swallow effectively before offering something to drink
When your are awake and your vital signs are stable, you will be brought back to a regular hospital room or discharged home.
Your family will not be allowed to visit you in the PACU but may be close by in the visiting room if the doctor needs to see them. Once you have been moved to a room on a nursing unit your family and friends can visit you during visiting hours
