Paediatric Spinal Surgery: “The Essentials of Perioperative Management”
Journal Title: Global Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The perioperative management of children undergoing corrective spinal surgery is challenging. The major challenges include the extensive nature of surgery, associated co-morbidities and the need for neurophysiological monitoring to diagnose any form of intra-operative neurological insult. The pre-operative functional status and the intra-operative events could dictate the requirement for post-operative mechanical ventilation.
