Aldrete score

The Aldrete score is a standardized tool used by healthcare providers to assess a patient's recovery after anesthesia and surgery. It evaluates five key areas: activity level, breathing, consciousness, circulation, and oxygen levels. Each area is scored, and the total score helps determine if the patient is safe to go home or needs more recovery time. A higher score indicates better recovery, while a lower score suggests the need for continued monitoring or additional care. This system helps ensure patients are fully alert and stable before leaving the hospital or surgical setting.
