Surgical Area

At Banner Lassen Medical Center, there are four primary groups that make up our team:

• Pre-op Holding
  Patients will be escorted to this area after reporting to admitting.
• Operating Room
  State-of-the-art Operating Rooms with up-to-date monitoring capabilities
• Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
  Patients recover in this area. All caregivers are trained in adult and pediatric advanced life support, as well as cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Nursing personnel work in collaboration with physicians and other health care providers to ensure a successful recovery period and safe transfer to an inpatient unit.
• Sterile Processing Department (SPD)
  The sterile processing department is a little-known hospital area. Our sterilization professionals are dedicated to ensuring that all of the instruments, equipment and supplies used in the operating room are completely germ-free and sterile for all surgeries performed.
