Post aneshesia score, or PAR, refers to the condition of a patient after anesthesia. A PAR of 9-10 is desired for discharge to a regular non ICU ward. Vital signs should be within 20% of baseline, color, consciousness and movement are also rated.

What condition benefits from short-term oxygen therapy?
Short-term therapy, such as post-anesthesia recovery.
What is Modified Aldrete Score?
The Modified Aldrete Score is used in post anesthesia care units to determine the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood. A score of 9 or above is required for a patient to be discharged.
What is the Aldrete sedation assessment?
The aldrete score is a score of 1 through 10 assessing a patient after anesthesia. Most post anesthesia units use the Aldrete score as a discharge criteria. If a patient's score is 8 or below the doctor must be notified and the patient is not dischargable. The Aldrete score assesses level of consciousness, respirtory status, circulatory status, pain, and nausea.
To what does the term recovery room refer?
a space a patient is taken to after surgery to safely regain consciousness from anesthesia and receive appropriate post-operative care
What is the downside of immediate reconstruction?
The surgery itself is longer, causing more time under anesthesia. Post-operative pain and recovery time will be greater than for mastectomy alone
What are common post-operative symptoms?
Post-operative nausea and vomiting is a common problem during recovery from general anesthesia. In addition, patients may feel drowsy, weak, or tired for several days after the operation, a combination of symptoms sometimes called the hangover effect
What is a anesthesiologist schedule like?
The anesthesia provider is responsible for keeping the patient anesthetized during surgery and vigilantly monitoring their vital signs, ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation) while the patient is under anesthesia or sedation. They monitor fluid input and output; placing IVs or central lines as necessary to deliver IV fluids, drugs, or blood or blood products during surgery. General anesthesia requires the anesthesia provider to intubate the patient, which is to place a breathing tube through the mouth into the trachea, or "windpipe," which remains in place during surgery. Surgery can be done with general anesthesia, regional anesthesia (spinals, epidurals, or peripheral nerve blocks), or monitored anesthesia care (MAC), which was formerly known as "local [anesthesia] with sedation." The anesthesia provider is responsible for the patient's care during the initial post-operative period in the recovery room. They determine when the patient is ready for extubation (removal of the breathing tube), which is usually -- but not always -- done in the operating room after the patient is awakened from general anesthesia, but before they go to the recovery room (or "PACU," post-anesthesia care unit).
Which anesthesia is included in the surgical package?
1.Local infiltration, metacarpal/metatarsal/digital block or topical anesthesia 2.Subsequent to the decision for surgery, one related E/M encounter on the date immediately prior to or on the date of the procedure (history and physical) 3.Immediate postoperative care, including dictation, post operative notes, talking with the family and other physicians 4.Writing orders 5.Evaluating the patient in the post anesthesia recovery area 6.Typical postoperative care

ok
Is it better to do post-graduate work in anesthesia or general medicine?
It depends on you !! Personally I voted for Anesthesia and I'm not sorry, but each has its advantages & disadvantages.

Yes, it does
