Pediatric anesthesia & critical care
Evaluation of quality of care in neonatal anesthesia using a bundle of intraoperative parameters
Authors' conclusion
Although a median of six out of the seven selected intraoperative parameters were monitored during gastroschisis repair, only two of them (oxygen saturation and heart rate) were maintained within the pre-defined range more than 80% of the time.
