Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Recovery following general anesthesia and surgery is a complex issue confounded by the type of surgery, surgical care, inflammation, different anesthetic drugs and techniques, patient co-morbidities, and differing patient and clinician perceptions of what constitutes good recovery. In this observational study, quality of recovery and patient satisfaction will be measured using the Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale (PQRS). This tool includes six domains of recovery: physiological, nociceptive (pain and nausea), emotive (anxiety and depression), functional recovery (return of activities of daily living), self-assessed recovery, and cognitive recovery.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Elective major abdominal, thoracic, and arthroplasty surgery All consenting patients scheduled for elective major abdominal, thoracic, and arthroplasty surgery will be followed for 8 weeks after surgery to measure the quality of recovering using the PQRS.	Other: Postoperative Quality Recovery Scale (PQRS); The PQRS is completed prior to surgery to provide baseline values, and then repeated at different intervals: 15 minutes, 40 minutes, 1 and 3 days, and 4-8 weeks after the completion of surgery. Recovery is broadly defined as return to baseline or better.
