Pediatric In-Office Procedures for the Comprehensive Otolaryngologist (2022 AMW)
2022 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
In recent years many procedures are being shifted from the operating room to the office setting due to a variety of factors. The COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated this process. Learn from a panel of Pediatric Otolaryngology experts and a Child-Life Specialist about which procedures are being performed in the pediatric population in the office setting, how to evaluate which procedures may be reasonable for the non-Pediatric Otolaryngologist, what preparations are recommended to optimize your chances of success, and better understand the pros and cons of the office vs the OR. Questions such as "Should a parent be allowed to stay in the room?" and "What is the ideal position for the child to be in and how should they be held?" will be discussed.
