Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To clarify patient related problems in the Post Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU) immediately after fast-track hip and knee arthroplasty.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this prospective, consecutive, observational cohort study we examine:

1. Patient related problems in the PACU after hip and knee arthroplasty simply to answer the question "Why in PACU?", using a modified version of the national guidelines for patient observation in PACU.
2. The time spent in PACU with the modified version of the national guidelines for patient observation in PACU.
3. If the modified version of the national guidelines for patient observation in PACU results in patient related problems in the ward afterwards.
