Article Synopsis
- - Obesity requires complex preoperative assessments for bariatric surgery, and this study aims to evaluate a new protocol for pre-anesthesia consultations to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
- - A retrospective analysis of 206 cases was conducted using various statistical tests to compare consultations conducted with and without the proposed protocol.
- - Results indicated that the protocol significantly reduced costs and consultation duration, but did not impact surgery delays or hospital stay lengths, suggesting it effectively optimizes management in bariatric surgery.
Background: Studies of spinal anesthesia in children are limited to a reduced group of high-risk patients and it remains relatively underused compared with general anesthesia in this age group in most institutions. In our experience, spinal anesthesia appears to be a good alternative to general anesthesia during pyloromyotomy in neonates and infants.
Aims: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate respiratory morbidity of spinal anesthesia compared to general anesthesia in infants undergoing pyloromyotomy.
