recovery rooms

Post-surgery observation spaces

Recovery rooms are hospital spaces where patients regain consciousness after surgery or anesthesia.

Medical staff monitor vital signs and manage pain until patients are stable enough for discharge or transfer to a regular ward.

The term sometimes extends to any space designated for recuperation: The spa's recovery rooms offered dim lighting and soft music.
