Anesthesia‐Related Adverse Events in Infants With Gastroschisis at a South African Tertiary Pediatric Hospital: A Retrospective Cohort Study
ARAEs are common in infants with gastroschisis, particularly during pathology-related procedures. Potential lessons include careful fluid management, anticipatory extubation planning, and reducing repeated anesthetic exposure. Strengthening perioperative data systems in LMICs and conducting prospective studies are needed to identify modifiable risks and develop safe, context-specific care pathways to improve outcomes for infants with gastroschisis in resource-limited settings.
