To explore risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) that requires intervention with medications during adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery.We analyzed the data of 986 patients with AIS (including 156 male and 830 female patients) Dexamethasone is widely used for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) prophylaxis, but its effect on PONV prevention in paediatric patients is validated only in short minor surgical procedures. In this study, we aimed to determine whether a single dose of dexamethasone reduces PONV in highly
Although dexamethasone is widely used to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in both adults and children, the evidence in children is mainly from minor, short surgical proce- dures such as tonsillectomy and strabismus surgery.
In this study, we reviewed medical re- cords of patients who
BACKGROUND
Scoliosis surgery is one of the most extensive elective surgical processes performed on young people. Although there is a great store of knowledge of surgical techniques, patients' experiences of going through surgery have not been extensively studied.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is
Corrective surgery for scoliosis is an extensive procedure with well-known problems of postoperative pain control. Additional problems with nausea, vomiting, ileus, and sedation can result in delayed mobilization and a prolonged inpatient hospital stay. At our institution, a multimodal approach to
UNASSIGNED
There have been no prospective studies investigating gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) following posterior spinal fusion (PSF). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and severity of self-reported GI symptoms following
Compression and obstruction of the duodenum can occur after surgical correction of spinal scoliosis. We report a case of 15-year-old girl who developed superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) following scoliosis surgery. On the 4th postoperative day, the patient complained of nausea and vomiting,
Appendicitis is a common cause of pediatric abdominal pain, largely occurring in the second decade of life. We present the case of a 14-year-old girl who underwent an uncomplicated posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation for scoliosis, who later developed abdominal pain, nausea, and emesis
Acute pancreatitis is a possible complication after scoliosis surgery. Although some risk factors have been documented in the literature, clinical description of pancreatitis diagnosis and ensuing course still remain very poor. The aim of this study was to describe characteristics of acute
BACKGROUND
As scoliosis surgery in children is a large invasive surgery, postoperative pain control is difficult.
METHODS
We examined the difference of the analgesic effect between patients with and without DEX administration using the intravenous patient controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) of fentanyl
Scoliosis is a common complication in children with cerebral palsy (CP). In these patients, surgical correction carries a high risk of complications. CP is also associated with gastrointestinal dysmotility such as delayed gastric emptying and gastro-oesophageal reflux. We describe 5 patients with CP
Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of scoliosis surgery. The anatomical relationship of the duodenum and the superior mesenteric artery, the correction of angular deformity of the spine, and the normal adolescent growth spurt all
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of epidural morphine plus bupivacaine for post-operative pain control following Harrington rod insertion. In 22 scoliotic patients, studied prospectively, the epidural catheter was positioned under direct vision, intra-operatively before wound
BACKGROUND
We previously determined the intrathecal morphine optimal dose to maximize analgesia in patients undergoing idiopathic scoliosis surgery while minimizing adverse effects. Our purpose was to determine if this protocol was equally effective across sex and racial groups.
METHODS
We studied
METHODS
A retrospective study of postoperative pain management with intrathecal morphine.
OBJECTIVE
Identify the dosing regimen of intrathecal morphine that safely and effectively provides postoperative analgesia with minimal complications in patients with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing posterior
