estar planificada para no interferir con el programa quirúrgico
y la recuperación postoperatoria. La terapia electroconvulsiva
es, de alguna manera única, ya que requiere anestesia general
realizada por un anestesiólogo. Normalmente, estos procedi-
mientos cortos pueden realizarse antes que los casos quirúrgi-
cos rutinarios. Un programa de terapia electroconvulsiva exi­
toso planifica el procedimiento a las 5.30 AM, con una propor­
ción enfermera-paciente de 2:1 y una estancia estimada en la
URPA de 2 horas
Resumen
La URPA es más que una unidad de observación postanestésica. Es
única en su capacidad de proporcionar cuidados a pacientes de
todas las edades y en todas las fases de la enfermedad. Desde sus
inicios hace más de 50 años, la URPA ha demostrado ser una
unidad que se adapta a todo y que está equipada para suplir las
necesidades de un sistema de cuidados de salud en desarrollo.
