Optimizing anesthesia for pediatric Le Fort surgeries
Anesthetic Optimization in Pediatric LeFort Surgeries
This study is testing a new anesthesia plan for kids having Le Fort surgeries to see if it helps them feel less pain afterward and recover faster compared to the usual care.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates a standardized anesthetic protocol for pediatric patients undergoing Le Fort osteotomy at Johns Hopkins Hospital. It includes two cohorts: one receiving the new anesthesia protocol and a historical cohort that received standard care. The goal is to minimize postoperative pain, reduce hospital stays, and lower long-term complications. By comparing outcomes between the two groups, the study aims to demonstrate the benefits of a more structured anesthetic approach.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are pediatric patients aged 14 years and older who are scheduled for Le Fort osteotomy at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Not a fit: Patients with contraindications to the standardized anesthetic protocol will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could lead to improved surgical outcomes and reduced postoperative complications for pediatric patients.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with standardized anesthetic protocols in various surgical settings, suggesting potential for positive outcomes in this context.
