Comparing discharge scoring systems after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery
Comparison of Modified Post-Anesthetic Discharge Scoring System (PADSS) Between 4 and 24 Hours in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
This study is testing whether checking patients' readiness to go home 4 hours or 24 hours after gallbladder surgery works better for safely discharging them.

What this trial studies
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a Modified Post-Anesthetic Discharge Scoring System (PADSS) at two different time intervals, 4 hours and 24 hours, in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The goal is to determine which timing provides a better assessment for patient readiness for discharge. The study will involve patients aged 20 to 60 years who meet specific health criteria and will exclude those who require a different surgical approach. The findings could help optimize discharge protocols for this common surgical procedure.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients aged 20 to 60 years undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification of I-III.
Not a fit: Patients who require an open cholecystectomy will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance patient safety and satisfaction by improving discharge timing and criteria after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
How similar studies have performed: While this specific comparison may be novel, similar studies on discharge scoring systems have shown promise in improving patient outcomes.
