Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Patient walks in, no overnight bed reserved,
Ambulatory stage — every margin must be observed,
ASA one or two, maybe three if stable ground,
No obstructive apnea that's uncontrolled and profound,
Escort at home, a working phone nearby,
Procedure under four hours — those are the qualifying lines,
Screen for anxiety, screen for prior PONV,
Build the selection matrix before the patient breathes with me

[Chorus]
Seleziona con cura, ogni paziente conta,
Aldrete or PADSS — la scala che affronta,
Score eight or above before they walk out the door,
Attività, respiro, keep watching for more,
Fast-track the recovery, bypass phase one,
Dimissione sicura when the criteria's done

[Verse 2]
LMA and propofol, desflurane fades clean,
Dexamethasone early — keeps the nausea lean,
Multimodal analgesia, skip the opioid rope,
Ketamine low-dose, acetaminophen, and regional scope,
TIVA protocol minimizes hangover fog,
Sugammadex reversal — no neostigmine slog,
Ondansetron at closing, scopolamine patch behind the ear,
Risk factors stacked above two — triple therapy's clear

[Chorus]
Seleziona con cura, ogni paziente conta,
Aldrete or PADSS — la scala che affronta,
Score eight or above before they walk out the door,
Attività, respiro, keep watching for more,
Fast-track the recovery, bypass phase one,
Dimissione sicura when the criteria's done

[Bridge]
Aldrete checks five domains — activity, respiration,
Circulation, consciousness, oxygen saturation,
PADSS goes further — adds pain tolerance and surgical bleeding,
Ambulation, voiding, whether the discharge is proceeding,
Phase one skipped when vitals stay pristine from the OR,
Modified Aldrete guides who walks directly out the door,
Unplanned admission haunts the metrics, audit every case,
Airway trouble, bleeding, cardiac — document with grace

[Verse 3]
PONV risk: female, nonsmoker, motion history,
Opioid-dependent planning — that's no mystery,
Apfel score drives your prophylaxis ladder up,
One risk factor, one drug — four risks, fill the cup,
For pain: nerve block outlasts the case by several hours clean,
Liposomal bupivacaine stretching the analgesic seam,
Discharge scripts written preoperative, clear instruction given,
Responsible adult confirmed — no solo patient-driven

[Chorus]
Seleziona con cura, ogni paziente conta,
Aldrete or PADSS — la scala che affronta,
Score eight or above before they walk out the door,
Attività, respiro, keep watching for more,
Fast-track the recovery, bypass phase one,
Dimissione sicura when the criteria's done

[Outro]
Ambulatory care — it's precise, no margin thin,
Select the right candidate, then let the work begin,
Criteri chiari, the score decides the gate,
Safe passage, clean discharge — that's the ambulatory fate
