Intensive Care (ICU and post-anesthesia unit)

Explanation:
UPA probably stands for 'unidade pós-anestésica'. 'Pacientes graves' is sometimes used to refer to intensive care services in general.

Post-anesthesia care is usually simpler than regular intensive care, but requires quite similar equipment (i.e., oxygen monitors, ventilators, intubation material etc). Some hospitals group these two facilities under the same department.
