![Fig. 7. Total number of patients in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) and waitlist at 4:00 pm. Data ( bars ) versus model ( curve with error bars ). The horizontal axis shows the total number of patients in the PACU queue at 4:00 pm (sum of patients in the PACU plus those waiting in the operating room [OR] for a PACU bed). The functional and physical capacities of the PACU are 24 and 28 patients, respectively. The vertical axis is the number of occurrences of a given occupancy in 2006. The error bars indicate the 95% confidence interval for getting a given observation if the model is true. The figures show performance from regular workdays only (251 in 2006).](https://asa2.silverchair-cdn.com/asa2/content_public/journal/anesthesiology/110/6/10.1097_aln.0b013e3181a16983/4/19ff7.png?Expires=1716298590&Signature=FpSSBz-hoGqTxmfxCItL2Cq~vOeth6rXvFcxc1pxF5dt6ap0iAHjO52UsD6ahKXi330PUms2a16oumVhcmmvEcRQi4XwbbBOLfS6QM2aqTQ5viJAPU83Ib1Hf-xVJc1Jly2UQPlpJsn-d-0Phm1cD4bLiYkHrXeAfqwAOUGV9UzxeGcG~elhgd9rtAzq-hDBPCbRyWXjGzmD9~b7l2~0zbTZxVIuHRHtMA3bQYJtHrS54H6CHa6HN8uT0r5UMeUxi1FEuORAjcjoWXOJ4aTLtck01hAo8dQjfg63iGzCCZ~ah2uY~4oiSRbtye0WSkv5wMFuehrYgs7ndzPJHWBudA__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIE5G5CRDK6RD3PGA)
