Satisfacción de la recuperación anestésica postoperatoria por la escala de Iowa

Introduction: The quality of assistance is generally evaluated based on the results and has well-defined standards. Objective: To determine the degree of satisfaction recovery anesthetic, according to the Iowa Scale. Methods : A descrip-tive, cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the satisfaction of patients in the postoperative period after receiving an anesthetic procedure, electively. 791 patients were surveyed with the Iowa Scale. Results : The age group prevailed between 29 and 39 years (38%), the male sex (63%) and the physical state ASA II (63%). The most frequent surgical procedures were those of General Surgery (35%), the surgical time between 60-120 minutes in 48%. The most common anesthetic technique was general anesthesia 56%. There were no intraoperative complications in 85% and post-anesthe-sia were tremors in 27% of the total. The average score on the Iowa Scale according to patient satisfaction was 4.05 ± 0.75, 5.75 ± 1.25 and 7.15 ± 1.70 and its correlation with satisfaction was low, moderate and high respectively. Conclusions: incluían aspectos multidimensionales, ni incluían ningún tipo de proceso de exploración psicométrica y que la gran mayoría de los estudios relaciona-dos con la anestesia no utiliza herramientas validadas A high degree of satisfaction with the anesthetic recovery was observed, which was verified electively. The value of the Iowa Scale score, specifically measured the correlation between numerical value and the high degree of satisfaction of anesthetic recovery.
