Отделение за постоперативна грижа
Definition from
own experience or research:
Отделение за следоперативни грижи и интензивно лечение- се нарича в българските болници. На англисйки се има предвид отделение за грижа за пациентите, които вече не са за интензивни грижи, т.е. са подобрили състоянието си.

Среща се и като ОТДЕЛЕНИЕ ЗА ПОСТОПЕРАТИВНИ ГРИЖИ (http://www.vma.bg/klinikabg.php?srid=55)
