What this trial studies
This interventional study examines whether applying the Aldrete score in the recovery period after gastrointestinal endoscopy (gastroscopy and/or colonoscopy) can provide a structured way to assess recovery. Adults 18 and older undergoing these procedures in Greece are eligible, with Greek language instructions and informed consent required. The Aldrete score, a tool for post-anesthesia recovery, will be used to monitor physical status as patients wake from sedation and analgesia. Outcomes focus on recovery time and safety during discharge readiness, with implications for managing post-procedure recovery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience clearer, potentially faster discharge decisions and safer recovery after GI endoscopy.
How similar studies have gone: Prior uses of post-anesthesia recovery scoring like the Aldrete score have supported structured recovery assessment, but specific application to GI endoscopy recovery is less well established.
