Aldrete Score Print

The Aldrete score is used to determine when patients can be safely discharged from the post-anesthesia care unit to a surgical ward based on their level of activity, respiration, circulation, consciousness, and oxygen saturation. The score is assessed at various time intervals after a procedure, with a total score of 8-10 required for discharge. A minimum score of 12 would be required using this system to determine if outpatients can be transferred directly from the operating room to a step-down unit.

Cormack Score Intubation


The cormack-lehane system classifies views obtained by direct laringoscopy based on the structure seen. It was
innitially described by R.S. Cormack and J. Lehane in 1984 as a way of simulating potential scenarios that
rainee anaesthetists might face. A modified version that subdivided Grade 2 was initially described in 1988.
