Article Abstract
Background: Recovery after surgery and anesthesia is dependent on patient, surgical, and anesthetic characteristics, as well as the presence of any of numerous adverse sequelae. Postoperative recovery is a complex and multidimensional process that requires a holistic view of the recovery of capacities and homeostasis after anesthesia and surgery.
Objective: To assess the quality of recovery after anesthesia and its affecting factors at Wachamo University Nigist Eleni Mohamed Memorial Comprehensive Hospital.
Method: a prospective observational study was conducted at Wachamo University Nigist Eleni Mohamed Memorial Comprehensive Hospital among 384 surgical patients who undergone under anesthesia. Quality of recovery was assessed by using Quality of Recovery 40. Student t-test and one-way ANOVA were utilized to compare the mean of Quality of recovery in different groups. Binary regression was used to find out the factors affecting Quality of recovery quality of recovery. SPSS 27 was used for analysis. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Result: Sex and smoking history were the factors that we failed to find an association with poor quality of recovery. Preoperative antiemetic administration; premedication with benzodiazepines and emergency procedures were the factors that show potential relation with poor quality of recovery after anesthesia and surgery. Procedures performed under general anesthesia; Patients who had coexisting diseases; post-anesthesia incidence of nausea and vomiting; Visual Analog Scale score >/= 7 during discharge and prolonged duration of surgery were the factors that had a significant association with poor quality of recovery.
Conclusion: The magnitude of good quality of recovery was 65.6% whereas 34.4% scored poor quality of recovery. The predictors for the prevalence of poor quality of recovery were found to be orthopedic procedures; procedures undergone under general anesthesia; incidence of post-anesthesia nausea and vomiting; prolonged length of the procedure and severity of pain.

Patients' sense of safety and well-being may be affected in numerous ways while being cared for in hospitals. Often, feelings of alienation arise, as private spaces like the home are inaccessible. One aspect that impacts patients' safety and well-being is the design of the physical care environment.

Functional recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) varies widely among individuals, and traditional assessments often fail to detect subtle changes in real-world walking ability. Wearable sensors offer continuous and objective tracking of gait outside of clinical settings. In this prospective, longitudinal study, thirty-one patients undergoing unilateral TKA wore thigh-mounted accelerometers continuously from 2 weeks before surgery through 90 days postoperatively.

Evidence-based practices (EBPs) are most effective when they are delivered with a high degree of fidelity, or as they are intended to be delivered. Because clinicians often deviate from fidelity, it is important to monitor EBP fidelity over time to guide corrective actions. However, little is known about current fidelity monitoring practices in community behavioral health care.

Cryopreserved umbilical cord blood (CB) for transplantation is occasionally exposed to room temperature during storage in cord blood banks. We evaluated the effect of room temperature exposure on the quality of cryopreserved CB. Forty frozen CB units stored in liquid nitrogen tanks were exposed to room temperature until they reached a target temperature of -130°C (group I), -60°C (group II), -40°C (group III), or -25°C (group IV) (N=10 in each group) and then re-stored.
