Comparing discharge scoring systems after knee surgery
Comparison of Modified Post-Anesthetic Discharge Scoring System (PADSS) Between 6 and 24 Hours in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty
This study is testing whether checking patients' readiness to go home after knee surgery at 6 hours or 24 hours is more effective for their recovery.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the Modified Post-Anesthetic Discharge Scoring System (PADSS) in patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty. It compares the effectiveness of the scoring system at two different time points: 6 hours and 24 hours post-surgery. The goal is to determine which timing provides a better assessment of patient readiness for discharge. Conducted at Thammasat University Hospital in Thailand, this prospective study aims to enhance post-operative care for knee surgery patients.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-85 undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty with specific anesthesia protocols.
Not a fit: Patients with allergies to local anesthetic drugs will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve discharge protocols and enhance patient safety after knee surgery.
How similar studies have performed: While similar studies on discharge scoring systems exist, this specific comparison of timing is relatively novel.
