Streamlining Paediatric Palliative Radiotherapy: A Case Study on Reducing Procedural Burden and Avoiding General Anaesthesia Using a Simulation‐Free Radiotherapy ( SF ‐ RT ) Protocol

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-free radiotherapy in reducing general anaesthesia requirements in paediatric palliative care.
• Applied simulation-free radiotherapy (SF-RT) protocol on select paediatric patients.
• Collected data on procedural requirements and patient experiences.
• Assessed healthcare resource utilization in the context of SF-RT.
• SF-RT successfully minimized the need for general anaesthesia in treated cases.
• Improved patient experience reported by families and medical staff.
• Potential for increased efficiency in healthcare resource usage identified.
