BACKGROUND: The quality of post-operative patient recovery is part of the indicators of the quality of anesthesia services. However, side effects were still found in post-operative patients, which resulted in the speed and quality of recovery (QoR) and an increase in the length of stay for patients in the hospital.AIM: This study aims to describe the quality of a patient’s recovery after general anesthesia for patients undergoing surgery in the emergency room.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design conducted from February to July 2020. Patients numbered 52 people who are patients aged 18–59 years who are willing to fill out a questionnaire QoR-40 on the day after surgery. All data were analyzed using the statistical program SPSS. The median of the QoR-40 score will be used as a cutoff point between good and poor recovery quality.RESULTS: Fifty-two patients responded to the study with a median age of 44 years. The median QoR-40 score was 188, with most of the good category’s recovery quality (55.8%). The middle-aged group showed better QoR (68.2 vs. 31.8%), as well as the female compared to male (65 vs. 35%). Patients who underwent neurosurgery showed poor recovery 61.9 vs. 38.1%).CONCLUSION: More than half of the patients who underwent emergency surgery under general anesthesia in the emergency room of Sanglah Hospital have good recovery quality.
