Salivary cortisol was measured preoperatively and at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h postoperatively using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters, pain scores, time to resume feeding, and hospital stay were recorded and analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Ninety-three children completed the study (low-pressure:\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 47; standard-pressure:\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 46).

Across the cohort, cortisol showed a biphasic pattern: A rise peaking at 12 h, decline at 24 h, and secondary increase at 48 h, remaining above baseline at 72 h. No significant differences were observed between groups, though the low-pressure group had slightly higher cortisol at 12 h, and the standard-pressure group at 48 h.
