Wiki Pain Management in an Ambulatory Surgery Center

[aross0714]

Good Afternoon Everyone,

My question is; can a LPN monitor the patient after MAC anesthesia during post-op in a surgery center. (I am in Georgia). Or does she/he have to be a Registered Nurse?

I thank you all in advance.





Thank you,
