Analysis of Adverse Events in the Postanesthesia Unit at a Tertiary Pediatric Hospital

CONCLUSIONS: Our study reports the current incidence and spectrum of adverse events in the PACU at a tertiary pediatric hospital. Patients with young age, high American Society of Anesthesiologists' grade, and those from the general surgery department are at a significantly increased risk of adverse events in the PACU. Significant differences were detected in the proportion of specific adverse events after specific surgeries.PMID:38416105 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.12.003
