Site of Tracheal Extubation and Operating Room Efficiency During Robot-assisted Surgery
China218 participantsStarted 2026-01-12
Plain-language summary
This study aims to evaluate the impact of different extubation strategy on the occupancy time of operating room (OR) and the incidence of adverse events and quality of recovery after robotic-assisted surgery. The investigators hypothesize that extubation in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) may reduce OR occupancy time without increasing adverse events or worsening quality of recovery early after robotic-assisted surgery. This strategy may enhance perioperative efficiency while maintaining clinical safety.
