Hi Everyone I have a quick question for you all. Do you use MARs in your PACU? We are heading this way for our ICU and longterm patients.(only) If you do use MARs, Do you also include the prn narcotics on the Mars or do they stay on the PACU record? Our staff is questioning removing these from the PACU flow sheet and putting them on the Mars. Thanks for your time. We are just wondering what other PACU are doing?

If we have a patient in PACU who's stay is extended (no surgical or ICU beds available), we may start a blank medication administration record (MAR).
We still chart prn meds (morphine, zofran) on the PACU record to easily track subsequent changes in Vitals or O2 sat.
