| Abstract | Background: The need for dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia is increasing, with varying needs between patients. Mortality has been found to be a rare event in these patients; however other perioperative events can and do occur. Previous studies have established increased incidence of perioperative events with younger, sicker children, and longer anesthetics, however, no studies to date have evaluated if the incidence of perioperative events is more closely associated with one long anesthetic or multiple anesthetics per patient. Aims: To evaluate the association of perioperative events related to single anesthetic duration or number of anesthetics per patient for dental rehabilitation. Methods: After Children's Wisconsin Human Research Protection Program determined this quality activity did not meet the definition of human subjects research, we performed an epidemiologic observational evaluation by extracting all dental related cases (dental alone or with oral surgeon vs. dental with other specialties) with an associated general anesthesia encounter from Children's Wisconsin electronic data warehouse from June 1, 2015 to December 31, 2021. These cases occurred at a free-standing children's hospital or associated pediatric-only ambulatory surgery center. The risk of perioperative safety events was analyzed for previously identified risk groups such as American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS), patient age, anesthesia case time with the addition of number of dental cases per patient. Results: In this study, 8468 procedures were performed on 8082 patients. Of this cohort, 7765 patients underwent one procedure for dental care while 317 patients underwent a total of 703 dental-related procedures, ranging from two to five procedures per patient. Multivariable logistic regression identified increased risk of perioperative events in patients with ASA-PS 3 (n = 1459, rate 1.78%, p value .001, OR 5.7, CI 2.1-15.5) and ASA-PS 4 (n = 86, rate 5.8%, p < .001, OR 17.2, CI 4.4-67.3), anesthesia duration (p < .001, OR 1.46, CI 1.21-1.76), but no increased risk with number of anesthetics per patient (p value .54, OR 0.81, CI 0.4-1.61). Conclusions: Limiting dental care under general anesthesia to multiple short cases may decrease the risk of perioperative events when compared to completing all treatment in one long operative session. |
