Summary

This study is creating a new questionnaire to measure how well children recover after anesthesia and surgery. Researchers will work with 200 children aged 2-17 and their parents to develop and test the tool. The goal is to provide a simple, child-friendly way to assess recovery quality that goes beyond current methods.
