BEDSIDE VS CONVENTIONAL OPERATING ROOM SURGERY IN CRITICALLY ILL NEWBORNS: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
Topic overview
This systematic review compares surgical outcomes when critically ill neonates undergo procedures at the bedside in the NICU versus traditional operating room transfer. The analysis evaluates whether bedside surgery reduces transport-related risks like hypothermia and clinical instability in unstable newborns requiring surgical intervention.
Key takeaways
- Transferring critically ill neonates to the OR carries risks including hypothermia and clinical deterioration during transport.
- Bedside NICU surgery is a viable alternative for neonates too unstable to safely transport to the operating room.
- Meta-analysis evidence now exists comparing perioperative outcomes between bedside and conventional OR approaches in this population.
- Patient selection is critical: bedside surgery should be reserved for those unfit for transport, not as routine practice.
