Summary

This clinical trial will be carried out as a national multicenter observational cohort trial in Turkey. Our starting point is the need to triage postoperative patients daily due to the limited intensive care unit (ICU) bed capacity. Our hypothesis is that patients requiring emergency or unplanned ICU admission generally meet the ICU admission criteria. However, postoperative patients admitted to the ICU for planned reasons often do not meet the ICU admission criteria and can be monitored in a lower-level unit (Postoperative Care Unit - PACU) for close observation purposes.

The primary aim is to assess the efficient utilization of ICU beds. We try to compare the treatments provided during ICU follow-up, for planned and unplanned patients requiring ICU admission. Our secondary outcome is to identify criteria that can predict ICU indications based on patients' preoperative characteristics and evaluate the postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.

Our aim is to categorize patients admitted to the ICU into two groups: planned and unplanned/emergency cases and compare the necessity of ICU care between these two groups. The need for ICU treatment will be determined based on the criteria established in the following\* study. The presence of any of these criteria will indicate the need for ICU admission, while the absence of these criteria may identify patients admitted to the ICU only for monitoring purposes (i.e., unnecessary ICU admissions).
