Summary
This study looks at whether machine learning (a type of artificial intelligence) can accurately predict how long spinal anesthesia lasts in people having knee replacement surgery. Researchers will use patient information like age, surgery details, and anesthesia data to train computer models. The goal is to help doctors plan better and improve recovery after surgery.

Who is studied
This study will include adult patients undergoing elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) under spinal anesthesia at Kocaeli City Hospital Operating Theaters between November 2025 and March 2026. All participants will receive spinal anesthesia using 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine, and intraoperative monitoring will be conducted in accordance with institutional anesthesia standards. The study population represents a homogeneous surgical group in which spinal anesthesia is routinely applied, allowing for standardized anesthesia protocols and reliable measurement of anesthesia duration. Eligible patients will be classified as ASA Physical Status I or II and aged 18 years or older.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty between November 2025 and March 2026 at the Kocaeli City Hospital Operating Theaters. 2. Patients who have provided written informed consent to participate in the study. 3. Patients whose surgery is planned under spinal anesthesia. 4. Patients for whom complete clinical data can be obtained during the study period. 5. Adults aged 18 years or older, classified as American Society of Anesthesiologist's (ASA) Physical Status I or II. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who were converted to general anesthesia during surgery or initially operated under general anesthesia. 2. Patients who required postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) admission following anesthesia. 3. Patients who developed surgical complications and for whom postoperative mobilization could not be planned. 4. Patients with cognitive impairment preventing them from completing pain assessment scales in the postoperative period. 5. Patients with neuropathic pain, multiple sclerosis, or other neuromotor disorders will be excluded from the study.
