Adapting Perioperative Care for Neurodivergent Children - A Scoping Review

Abstract

Routine procedures often pose heightened challenges for neurodivergent children, resulting in increased need for perioperative care compared to the general population. Healthcare professionals’ reduced familiarity with infrequent neurodivergent diagnoses further underscores the necessity of evidence-based guidelines. As no guidelines currently exist, our study aims to review interventions, delineate key themes, and develop a checklist to aid healthcare professionals in navigating the perioperative process for neurodivergent patients.
