Anesthetic Optimization in Pediatric LeFort Surgeries
Johns Hopkins University
Summary
This study will propose and evaluate a standardized LeFort osteotomy anesthetic protocol for pediatric patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital. There are two cohorts to this study: a prospective cohort who will receive the study anesthesia protocol and a historical cohort that received standard of care. The investigators hope this will help to minimize unnecessary postoperative pain management, inpatient stay, and long-term morbidity and mortality in these patients.
Description
This study will propose and evaluate a standardized LeFort osteotomy anesthetic protocol for pediatric patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital. There are two cohorts to this study: a prospective cohort who will receive the study anesthesia protocol and a historical cohort that received standard of care. The investigators hypothesize that implementation of this standardized protocol will show improved surgical outcomes among these patients as compared to current (discretionary) treatment. This study aims to optimize the anesthetic management of these patients in order to minimize postoperative pain…
