Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Datasets in the patient record keeping system of all ASA I-II children, which were operated at the department of paediatric surgery from 16th March 2020 – 30th June 2020 (=lockdown timeframe) are used. These datasets are compared with datasets of all ASA I-II children operated at the department of paediatric surgery between 16th March – 30th June of the three preceding years - 2019, 2018 and 2017. Based on our clinical routine workload we estimate to include approx. 1700 children. Inclusion criteria • Male and female ASA I-II children • Age 0-18 years (including former preterm neonates)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
There is no difference in the incidence of anesthetic complications in children treated during the lockdown in 2020 (who were informed immediately before surgery) and children treated during the same period in 2019, 2018 and 2017 (in which the information took place at least 24 hours before the operation). To compare if any difference in the lowest intraoperative value of SpO2 exists between the children with the ad hoc informed consent and the children with the standard informed consent.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare if any difference in the frequency of complications (arrhythmia, bronchospasm, drug reaction, haemorrhage, hypertension, hypotension, hypoxia, laryngeal spasm, death and any complication at all) as well as in the frequency of mentioned complications in patient record keeping system box “unexpected occurrence” and fail of planned anaesthetic procedure (e.g. regional anaesthesia) exists between the children with the ad hoc informed consent and the children with the standard informed consent
