Aim of this prospective study was to assess the quality of postoperative care in a postoperative anaesthesia care unit (PACU) using postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting as well as their reduction as quality markers. So far, only sparse data related to this topic are available and there are currently no established quality markers of a PACU service.
