Effect of human serum albumin on clinical outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of administering 20% human serum albumin (HSA) on short-term clinical outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing enteric anastomosis, with a specific focus on postoperative hospital stay (PHS), postoperative fasting duration (PFD), and the incidence of postoperative complications (PCs).
