Abstract
Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has demonstrated effectiveness in accelerating recovery and reducing complications across surgical fields, with limited application in Ear-Nose-Throat surgeries. Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS), a prevalent condition affecting pediatric patients, calls for innovative management due to its impact on health and the need for surgical interventions like tonsillectomy.
Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of ERAS in pediatric patients with OSAHS.
Methods: Review and analyze 1100 cases of pediatric patients with OSAHS who underwent plasma-coblation tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy using nasal endoscopy from June 2016 to June 2022 in our hospital. Among these cases, a total of 564 patients were managed according to ERAS theory, while 536 patients were treated with classical theory. The incidence of preoperative discomfort, postoperative pain, bleeding, and other complications between the two groups were compared.
Results: ERAS group showed comparable preoperative-discomfort rates to the control (P = 0.799). However, ERAS patients exhibited significantly lower pain scores at 24-, 48-, and 72-h post-operation (P < 0.05). Mental state scores were similar between ERAS and control 4 h pre-surgery (P > 0.05), but notably lower in ERAS at 30 min pre-op and 6-, 12-, and 24-h post-operation (P < 0.05). ERAS had lower complication rates and intra/postoperative bleeding, quicker ambulation/oral intake, and shorter hospital stays than control (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: ERAS management in patients with OSAHS resulted in notable reductions in postoperative pain and incidence of complications, along with improved postoperative recovery and shorter hospital stays.
期刊介绍:
Technology and Health Care is intended to serve as a forum for the presentation of original articles and technical notes, observing rigorous scientific standards. Furthermore, upon invitation, reviews, tutorials, discussion papers and minisymposia are featured. The main focus of THC is related to the overlapping areas of engineering and medicine. The following types of contributions are considered:
1.Original articles: New concepts, procedures and devices associated with the use of technology in medical research and clinical practice are presented to a readership with a widespread background in engineering and/or medicine. In particular, the clinical benefit deriving from the application of engineering methods and devices in clinical medicine should be demonstrated. Typically, full length original contributions have a length of 4000 words, thereby taking duly into account figures and tables.
2.Technical Notes and Short Communications: Technical Notes relate to novel technical developments with relevance for clinical medicine. In Short Communications, clinical applications are shortly described. 3.Both Technical Notes and Short Communications typically have a length of 1500 words.
Reviews and Tutorials (upon invitation only): Tutorial and educational articles for persons with a primarily medical background on principles of engineering with particular significance for biomedical applications and vice versa are presented. The Editorial Board is responsible for the selection of topics.
4.Minisymposia (upon invitation only): Under the leadership of a Special Editor, controversial or important issues relating to health care are highlighted and discussed by various authors.
5.Letters to the Editors: Discussions or short statements (not indexed).
