Abstract:
This literature review provides an overview of ten studies which assessed the patient's general recovery after discharge from hospital following elective surgery and anaesthesia. Ten multidimensional tools were identified and these included six common domain assessments: pain, physiological function, activities of daily living (ADL), emotions, nausea/vomiting and nutrition/ elimination. Most of the tools assessed the recovery process by using patient-subjective reported outcomes on visual analogue (VAS) or pre-graded scales.
