Boston Children's Hospital Post Anesthesia Care Unit Outcomes Study
Completed
Conditions studied: Surgical Procedures, Operative
In brief
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of outcomes in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) at BCH and to identify preoperative demographic and behavioral data as well as intraoperative and anesthetic predictors of adverse PACU outcomes. The investigators hypothesize quality of PACU outcomes will correlate with preoperative demographic and behavioral characteristics as well as intraoperative and anesthetic procedures/techniques. This study will help the investigators improve post anesthetic care quality and create a higher level of satisfaction for patients, family, and health care providers.
