Study Purpose: This study checks how well anesthesiologists can guess if a patient needs to go to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after surgery.
What Happens: Before surgery, doctors will predict if ICU care is needed and explain why. After surgery, researchers will see if the patient went to the ICU and if it was planned. No changes to regular care will be made.
Study Length: This is a pilot study, meaning it’s a small, early test to see if the big study can work later.
- **Who Can Join:** Adults 18 or older having certain planned surgeries.
- **Visits Needed:** No extra visits; information is collected during regular hospital time.
- **Key Info:** Must not be having heart surgery or already in ICU.
Important Terms: ICU stands for Intensive Care Unit, a special hospital area for very sick patients. ASA Physical Status is a system that doctors use to describe a patient's health before surgery.
