Abstract

A disseminação eficaz da evidência científica é um dos pilares da implementation science, a área que estuda como transformar conhecimento em prática clínica consistente e sustentável. Na anestesia pediátrica — um campo em rápida evolução tecnológica e científica — garantir que novos dados cheguem de forma clara e acessível aos profissionais que as aplicam é fundamental para reduzir variabilidade, apoiar decisões informadas e, em última instância, elevar a qualidade e a segurança dos cuidados prestados às crianças.
