Modified Aldrete Score
The Modified Aldrete Score is used in post-anesthesia care units (PACU) to assess when a patient has recovered sufficiently from anesthesia to be safely discharged to a regular hospital ward.
Clinical parameters
Clinical context
The Modified Aldrete Score is used in PACU discharge readiness assessment by evaluating activity, respiration, circulation, consciousness, and oxygenation. Many protocols use a threshold around ≥9 for transfer readiness, but final disposition should follow local policy and overall clinical stability.
