Comparing Combined Intravenous-Inhalational and Inhalational Anesthesia Effects on Recovery After Gynecologic Surgery Using QoR-15 Scores

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effects of combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia compared to inhalational anesthesia alone on recovery after elective gynecologic surgery. The study includes 100 patients aged 18 to 65 years classified as ASA physical status I to III. They will measure recovery using the Quality of Recovery-15 QoR-15 questionnaire, which assesses physical comfort, emotional state, psychological support, pain, and daily activity ability. Higher scores reflect better recovery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia or inhalational anesthesia only during their surgery. Both groups will follow routine clinical practice for anesthetic drugs and doses. Postoperative recovery will be evaluated using the QoR-15 questionnaire on postoperative days 1 and 2. Secondary outcomes include pain scores at postoperative hours 6, 12, and 24, incidence of nausea and vomiting within 24 hours after surgery, and length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit. During the study, patients will complete the QoR-15 questionnaire before surgery without knowing their anesthesia type and again on days 1 and 2 after surgery. Intraoperative data will be collected from anesthesia records. Researchers will monitor recovery quality, pain levels, nausea and vomiting occurrence, and care unit stay length to assess anesthesia impact. Participation lasts from pre-surgery through postoperative day 2, with monitoring up to 10 days for some outcomes.
