Severe outcomes of pediatric perioperative adverse events occurring in operating rooms compared to off ‐site anesthetizing locations in the Wake‐Up Safe Database

ConclusionMultivariable analysis of a large registry revealed a greater likelihood of severe outcome for adverse events occurring in cardiac catheterization suites (but not other out of the OR sites), compared to adverse events occurring in the operating room. Additional prospective studies are needed which better control for patient and environmental characteristics and their effect on severe outcomes after anesthesia.This article is protected by copyright.
