Safety and feasibility of enhanced recovery after surgery-based management model for ambulatory pediatric surgical procedures

Figure 1 Effect of the two management models on surgical outcome in pediatric patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. A: The research group had a significantly shorter operation time than the control group; B: The research group had a significantly shorter postoperative gastrointestinal ventilation time than the control group; C: The research group had a significantly shorter hospital stay than the control group. ^aP < 0.05, indicates a statistically significant difference between two group; ^bP < 0.01, indicates a statistically significant difference between two group.

Figure 2 Effect of the two management models on postoperative pain in pediatric patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. A: The research group had a markedly lower visual analogue scale score than the control group at 12 h after surgery; B: The research group had a markedly lower visual analogue scale score than the control group at 24 h after surgery. ^aP < 0.01, indicates a statistically significant difference between the two groups. VAS: Visual analogue scale.
