Key Points

  • The study assesses the safety of same-day discharge for children after vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) insertion.
  • Analysis of data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program
  • Comparison of readmission rates between same-day discharge and longer hospital stays
  • Focus on pediatric patients undergoing VNS insertion
  • No significant increase in readmission rates for same-day discharge patients
  • Results suggest that same-day discharge is a feasible option for children after VNS insertion

Abstract

Same-day discharge of pediatric patients undergoing VNS insertion was not associated with higher readmission rates compared to patients who stayed in the hospital for more than 1 day.
