Summary
The post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) is a crucial component of the surgical process, providing patients with vital support and monitoring as they recover from anesthesia. Despite advancements in perioperative anesthesia, PACU complications are still common. PACU organization and setup in low-income country like Ethiopia is poor. Previous research's done in some neighbor African countries presumed to have comparable to sociodemographic and economical profile shows varied degree of incidence and prevalence of PACU complication and associated factors. The main objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of PACU complications and its associated factors. An institutional based prospective cohort study will be conducted in the PACUs of the three selected tertiary care hospitals in Ethiopia from Februery 15, 2025 to June 30, 2025. These data will be compared with those obtained in a tertiary hospital in Spain.
