Adapting Perioperative Care for Neurodivergent Children - A Scoping Review
Topic overview
This scoping review examines perioperative care adaptations for neurodivergent children, who face unique challenges during routine surgical procedures. The study synthesizes existing interventions and proposes an evidence-based checklist to guide healthcare professionals in delivering tailored perioperative support for this patient population.
Key takeaways
- Neurodivergent children require more perioperative support than neurotypical peers for routine procedures.
- Healthcare providers often lack familiarity with less common neurodivergent diagnoses, creating care gaps.
- No evidence-based perioperative guidelines currently exist for neurodivergent pediatric patients.
- A structured checklist can help clinicians navigate perioperative care for neurodivergent children.
- Tailored interventions are needed to reduce procedural anxiety and improve outcomes in this population.
