What this trial studies
This study investigates the impact of having a family member accompany older adults during the immediate post-anesthetic recovery period. It aims to determine if this accompaniment can enhance the quality of anesthetic recovery, potentially reducing anxiety and improving overall outcomes. The study will involve older adults scheduled for elective surgeries under balanced anesthesia, comparing recovery experiences between those with and without accompaniment. The approach is cost-effective and can be implemented in various hospital settings.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are older adults scheduled for elective surgery under balanced anesthesia with a hospital stay not exceeding 48 hours.
Not a fit: Patients with a history of dementia, cognitive impairment, or those undergoing emergency surgeries may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could significantly improve the recovery experience and outcomes for older adults undergoing surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited research specifically on the accompaniment during anesthetic recovery, similar approaches have shown positive outcomes in reducing anxiety in older adults prior to anesthesia.
