Population

Patients of all ages who have just received general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or moderate or deep sedation.

Intervention

Postanesthetic care including periodic assessment and monitoring of respiratory and cardiovascular function, neuromuscular function, mental status, temperature, pain, nausea and vomiting, drainage and bleeding, and urine output.

Outcome

Improvement of postanesthetic quality of life, reduction of postoperative adverse events, uniform assessment of recovery, and streamlining of postoperative care and discharge criteria.

These guidelines provide evidence-based and expert consensus recommendations for the assessment and monitoring of patients during postanesthetic emergence and recovery to optimize patient safety.

Cite This Study

A 2002 study conducted a systematic review in Postanesthetic care. Postanesthetic care guidelines was evaluated on Postanesthetic clinical outcomes (recovery time, temperature, time to discharge, nausea, vomiting). Postanesthetic care guidelines based on meta-analyses of 537 articles support specific monitoring, antiemetic, and discharge practices, with effect sizes for key interventions ranging from r=0.22 to 0.99.
