Standardized management practice and exploration of ambulatory surgery in pediatrics / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

The paper presented the characteristics of ambulatory surgery and the construction of a standardized management system in pediatrics. Every step of the process is standardized. Admission criteria cover all, including the children patients, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and surgical procedures, while preoperative postoperative evaluation is made and upon discharge as well. Surgery cancellation rate is reduced at all dimensions. Such rapid rehabilitation measures as preventive anti-vomiting, and shorter perioperative fasting time were introduced, along with effective post-discharge support. These efforts aim at exploring the safety and efficacy of standardized management approaches for pediatric day surgery, providing references for specialized pediatric hospitals.
