Article Synopsis
- Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a common heart condition in kids, and this study explored the use of fast-track anesthesia versus traditional anesthesia during VSD closure surgery.
- A systematic review identified four relevant studies from a large pool of 6,535 papers, focusing on observational data from 477 pediatric patients.
- Results showed that while there were no significant differences in surgery times or hemodynamics, fast-track anesthesia resulted in lower healthcare costs and shorter stays in ICU and overall hospitalization compared to conventional anesthesia.
