Aldrete Post-Anesthesia Recovery Score
The Modified Aldrete Score assesses PACU discharge readiness across five domains: Activity (0-2), Respiration (0-2), Circulation (0-2), Consciousness (0-2), and SpO₂ (0-2). Total score ranges 0-10; ≥9 indicates adequate recovery for discharge. Anaesthesia trainees use it alongside pain, PONV, and specific surgical assessments to ensure safe patient transition from the PACU.
