A descriptive, retrospective cohort study will be conducted to gain insight in the safety of the Rapid Move. The trial will include a group of Rapid Move patients, who were transferred to the Rapid Move after their outpatient surgery and subsequently discharged home. The Rapid Move is a short-stay PACU where patients recover from anaesthesia, are continuously monitored, and prepared for discharge within an hour after surgery.
Patients aged 15 years or older;
Patients who went to the Rapid Move after their outpatient procedure. Eligible procedures are: gastroscopy, coloscopy, vasectomy, scrotal surgery, circumcision or other minor penile surgery, intravesical Botox, insertion or removal of eardrum tubes in adults, sinus irrigation in adults, sleep endoscopy, bronchoscopy, removal of osteosynthetic material in the lower leg and foot, and tooth extraction (including wisdom teeth) and upper-forearm orthopedic surgery (excluding prosthetic surgery).
