What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create and validate a child-centered questionnaire to capture recovery quality in the immediate PACU period. It will generate items from interviews with children, parents, and clinicians, then test clarity and acceptability, followed by field testing in PACU across multiple centers. The study will compare the new questionnaire with routine clinical data like pain, nausea, airway events, and PACU length of stay. Participants include children aged 2–17 undergoing elective procedures with proxy reporting for younger children, and it is conducted at Siriraj Hospital with Mahidol University and Murdoch Childrens Research Institute collaboration.
