Pediatric Enhanced Recovery After Cardiac Surgery

University of Alberta483 enrolled

Overview

Identify our institution's current perioperative management strategies for pediatric cardiac surgery patients. Identify predictive factors for receiving perioperative care following P-ERACS strategies. Compare outcomes between P-ERACS and non-P-ERACS patients

study aims to 1) assess our institution's current perioperative management strategies for pediatric cardiac surgery patients, 2) identify which patient population would be appropriate for inclusion in a pediatric ERACS (P-ERACS) program, and 3) compare the outcomes of patients whose perioperative care followed general consensus P-ERACS strategies (P-ERACS patients) and those whose perioperative care did not (non-P-ERACS patients). Results from this study will inform current efforts to establish a local P-ERACS protocol, and facilitate the initiation of a clinical trial to assess adherence to a P-ERACS pathway as well as the impact of such a pathway on patient outcomes.
