Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating consensus recommendations for managing neonatal pain during surgery, emphasizing evidence-based strategies to enhance recovery and minimize opioid use.
- An international guideline development committee involved paediatric anaesthesiologists, surgeons, and ERAS experts in defining patient eligibility and selecting relevant pain management topics.
- Ultimately, the committee recommended using regular acetaminophen and considering locoregional analgesia, while noting a need for further research on non-opioid options for effective pain control in neonates.
Objective: This study describes differences in postoperative mortality for pediatric patients in rural communities compared to urban communities.
