What this Trial Is About
Researchers are conducting a multicenter, prospective observational study to determine how often complications occur in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and to identify factors linked to these complications. The study focuses on surgical patients recovering from anesthesia in Ethiopia and will compare findings with data from a hospital in Spain. Understanding these complications and their causes can help improve patient care and safety in the perioperative period. The study will include adult patients admitted to PACUs after surgery under general, regional, or monitored anesthesia at four hospitals. Researchers will monitor patients for complications such as lung problems, blood flow issues, temperature changes, or pain using questionnaires and physical exams. The study runs from February 15, 2025, to June 30, 2025, and collects data for analysis without altering patient treatment. Participants will be observed for up to eight hours after surgery in the PACU, during which their health status and any complications will be recorded. Data collection involves physical exams and questionnaires to track complications and associated factors. The research aims to provide valuable insights to healthcare providers and policymakers to enhance PACU care and patient safety in these settings.
