What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the effectiveness of a standardized handover protocol using AnesList© among physician anesthetists in the operating room. It focuses on the occurrence of adverse events such as death, serious complications, and rehospitalization within one month post-major surgery. The study will analyze various factors including the quality and duration of the handover, the length of ICU stays, and overall patient satisfaction with the handover process. Additionally, it will evaluate the persistence of using the AnesList© tool six months after the study's conclusion.
