Influence of Shortened Fasting Time on Perioperative Outcomes in Pediatric Patients: A Systematic Review
Topic overview
This systematic review evaluates shortened preoperative fasting protocols in pediatric surgical patients, examining their impact on complications like hypoglycemia, dehydration, and irritability. The study assesses evidence supporting ERAS and ACERTO multimodal approaches that challenge traditional prolonged fasting practices in children.
Key takeaways
- Prolonged preoperative fasting increases risk of hypoglycemia, dehydration, hypotension, and irritability in pediatric patients.
- ERAS and ACERTO protocols recommend shortened preoperative fasting periods to improve pediatric perioperative outcomes.
- Reducing fasting time may mitigate metabolic and hemodynamic complications in children undergoing surgery.
