Key result
Complex surgical procedures in children are associated with poorer outcomes due to patient comorbidities, prolonged procedures, and anesthesiologist experience, requiring specialized pediatric centers.
Why the study?
Despite progress in perioperative morbidity and mortality, challenges remain in explaining why complex surgical procedures in children are associated with poorer outcomes.
This review highlights the importance of implementing quality assurance strategies and safe paediatric anaesthesia practices to improve perioperative outcomes in children undergoing complex surgeries.
May support centralization for complex pediatric cases; leaves open optimal volume thresholds and causal mechanisms.
Despite obvious progress in perioperative morbidity and mortality we still face challenges in explaining why complex surgical procedures in children are associated with poorer outcomes. This review aims to address the importance of improving perioperative outcome through the implementation of strategies for quality assurance and the safe conduct of paediatric anaesthesia.
