Objective: To analyze selected factors associated with post-anesthesia recovery outcomes among postoperative patients at the Department of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation, Transport Hospital, in 2025.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 135 postoperative patients aged ≥18 years during the post-anesthesia recovery period at the Department of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation, Transport Hospital, from March to October 2025. Care outcomes were assessed using a 100-point scale comprising 10 clinical criteria. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Associations were examined using the Chi-square test, with crude odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
Results: Overall, 80.7% of patients achieved good post-anesthesia recovery care outcomes. Care outcomes were significantly associated with age ≥60 years (OR=2.96; 95% CI: 1.16–7.52), comorbidities (OR=2.74; 95% CI: 1.12–6.64), surgical classification (OR=3.08; 95% CI: 1.20–7.94), surgical approach (OR=3.07; 95% CI: 1.08–8.74), surgical site, surgery duration >120 minutes (OR=2.74; 95% CI: 1.11–6.77), and anesthesia technique (p<0.05)
Conclusion: Most postoperative patients achieved good post-anesthesia recovery care outcomes. Univariate analysis identified associations between several patient- and surgery-related characteristics and care outcomes; however, these associations were not adjusted for potential confounding factors.
