Early movement after outpatient surgery: safety and patient factors
This study looks at how safe it is for patients to get up and move soon after an outpatient procedure. If you had one of the listed minor procedures, you might help doctors understand who can benefit from early movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 15 years old or older.
- You had your procedure as an outpatient, meaning you went home the same day, not staying overnight.
- Your procedure is one of the listed types: for example, gastroscopy (a tube test of the stomach), colonoscopy (a tube test of the colon), vasectomy, scrotal or penile surgery, Botox in the bladder, ear tube or sinus treatments, sleep endoscopy (tube test of the airway during sleep), bronchoscopy (tube test of the lungs), removal of metal from the lower leg or foot, tooth extraction, or certain arm surgery (not joint replacement).
- You were not admitted to the hospital (no overnight stay).
- Your procedure was not an emergency.
- You did not have joint replacement surgery on the upper forearm.

This study looks at whether starting to move early (like sitting up or walking) during your ICU stay after surgery can help you recover faster and possibly shorten your time in the ICU. It aims to find out if early movement is safe and beneficial for people who stay in the ICU for a long time.

This study tests whether a structured early walking plan helps people recover faster after open gastrointestinal surgery. You will use a phone app to track your steps.
This study tests whether it is safe and beneficial to wake patients up from anesthesia right after heart surgery, while they are still in the operating room, instead of the usual practice of keeping them sedated and on a breathing machine in the ICU. The goal is to see if this approach can lead to faster recovery and fewer complications.
