Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is routine post-operative intensive care necessary for children with obstructive sleep apnea at high risk after adenotonsillectomy?
Answer: Our data confirm high rates of AE after AT for high risk patients, however, only 8% suffered a severe AE truly necessitating care in ICU. This outcome was very unlikely if an AE did not occur in PACU. We therefore conclude that routine post-operative ICU care for high risk children may be avoided if prolonged monitoring in the PACU is possible, with admission to ICU reserved for high-risk children with an early AE.
Output (English): no
