Several pediatric conditions can benefit from a reduced hospital stay approach:
- Respiratory Infections: Conditions like bronchiolitis and pneumonia can often be managed with brief hospital stays followed by home care. - Gastrointestinal Issues: Conditions such as gastroenteritis often require only short-term hospitalization for rehydration. - Post-Surgical Recovery: Enhanced recovery protocols can significantly shorten post-operative hospital stays for procedures like appendectomy.
