Abstract

Background: The Aldrete scale is a criterion for assessing the degree of postoperative recovery, widely used and agreed upon by anesthesiologists and nurses in assessing patients. Objectives: The study "Evaluating the effectiveness of using Aldrete scale to monitor patients in the recovery room at Cu Chi area general hospital" to determine the average time for patients to achieve Aldrete score ≥ 9. T1), transferred from the recovery room (T2) and related factors. Subjects and Methods:  Descriptive cross-sectional study (n = 98) on postoperative patients with anesthesia method of endotracheal anesthesia in the recovery room. Frequency and ratio analysis used to described the qualitative variables. The mean, standard deviation analysis used to described the quantitative variables. Linear regression analysis used to determined the relationship between variables (p < 0.05). Results: T1 = 2.5 hours; T2 = 3.2 hours. The time when patients stays in the recovery room after reaching T1 (ΔT=T2-T1) is 0.7 hours. Adverse factors and anesthesiologist opinion are related to time to T1 and time to move out of the recovery room. Need more study on the time of surgery, drugs used in surgery, anesthesia to assess the patient's recovery.
