Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Incidence of Significant Pain in PACU Incidence of significant pain defined by pain behavior information from the Faces-Legs-Activity-Cry-Consolability (FLACC) scale, Wong-Baker Faces scale, visual analog scale/numerical scale or adapted numerical rating scale - equal to or more than 5 on a scale from 0 to 10 at any time during the PACU stay. On day of surgery.
Primary Incidence of Agitation in PACU Incidence of agitation using emergence agitation categorization with Pediatric Agitation Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale equal to or more than 10 on this scale for more than 30 seconds during the recovery period. On day of surgery.
Primary Incidence of Post-Operative Nausea or Vomiting Post-operative vomiting (POV) will be measured by episodes of vomiting or retching in PACU. This will be a binary outcome - either vomiting/retching occurred or it did not. On day of surgery.
Secondary Satisfaction of Patients and Families with Post-Operative Care Satisfaction of patients and families with perioperative care, as determined from a three-question satisfaction survey allowing participating families to rate their recovery experience, global surgical experience, and need for further care at another healthcare facility. At two days and two weeks after surgery.
Secondary Post-Hospitalization Behavior Changes Post-hospitalization behaviors changes defined by development of 4 or more behavior changes on the Post Hospitalization Behavior Questionnaire (PHBQ) or development of increased stress levels on the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS). At two days and two weeks after surgery.
