Brief summary
This is a retrospective chart review to determine the etiologies contributing to prolonged PACU discharge at a major Orthopedic Ambulatory Center
Detailed description
Increasing number of surgeries are now performed at ambulatory surgical centers including orthopaedic procedures. While healthier patients usually undergo non-major orthopaedic procedures using regional anesthesia to facilitate faster discharges, prolonged PACU discharges are frequently encountered necessitating characterization and identification of modifiable variables. This is a retrospective chart review to determine the etiologies contributing to prolonged PACU discharge at a major Orthopedic Ambulatory Center.
