Summary

This study asks whether anesthesiologists can accurately predict, before a procedure, if an adult patient will need intensive care afterward. Researchers will compare the doctors' predictions with actual ICU admissions within 24 hours after surgery or endoscopy. The study is observational, meaning it does not change patient care, and also checks if the data collection process is practical for a larger future study.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If accurate, this could improve how doctors plan postoperative care, potentially reducing unplanned ICU admissions and better allocating resources.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not be conclusive. Prediction accuracy could vary widely among anesthesiologists, and the findings may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups.

Who is studied

The study population will consist of adult patients undergoing eligible surgical or endoscopic procedures in the participating operating rooms and endoscopy units on the predefined study days. Patients with The american society of anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status of I-II will be included if they undergo a major procedure, while patients with ASA Physical Status of III-V will be considered for inclusion regardless of procedural magnitude, provided that all other eligibility criteria are met. Preoperative clinical assessment will be completed before the procedure, and postoperative outcomes will be recorded prospectively.
