Abstract
Day surgery is an important part of the comprehensive reform of public hospitals, which is conducive to improving hospital management level, enhancing medical service efficiency, and controlling medical expenses. The National Health Commission has included tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy in the recommended list of daytime surgeries. However, there is no unified understanding and clinical practice of tonsillar and/or adenoid day surgery in China. Currently, there is an urgent need to develop clinical practice guidelines for tonsillar and/or adenoid day surgery to standardize the procedure. To this end, the guideline expert group developed this guideline through literature review and two rounds of Delphi voting, selecting and focusing on the clinical key issues in tonsillar and/or adenoid day surgery, in order to provide specific and feasible guidance for otolaryngologists, anesthesiologists, nursing staff, and related medical staff engaging in pediatric tonsillar and adenoid day surgery, and promote standardized management of tonsillar and/or adenoid day surgery.
