neutral  Chema Nieto Castañón: Your Spanish definition is good but I don't think "observation unit" works here; most observation units are in-bed. "Sillones" are called vertical bays / vertical treatment rooms in English.

Explanation:
The definition given by patinba is correct but he was mislead by "observación"; sillones are not actually observation units as such but more so treatment rooms where the patient is sitted rather than put on a bed -and where the patient can be "observed" for a short period of time. Vertical treatment rooms is how these are commonly called in English. See for instance https://mcdmag.com/2014/05/todays-er-designing-efficient-eme...

They return to the vertical zone for diagnostic testing and re-evaluation as needed.

The Emergency Room expansion will include the addition of 12 new “vertical treatment” bays, and eight private exam rooms.
