چکیده

BACKGROUND We observed an increased rate of pulmonary complications (hypoxemia, pulmonary edema, re-intubation) in some patients after posterior spinal fusion, though standardized intraoperative volume regimens for major surgery were used. Therefore, we focused on the effects of two different standardized fluid regimens (liberal vs. conventional) as well as on two different types of postoperative pain management (thoracic epidural catheter vs. intravenous analgesia) concerning pulmonary function in patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion. METHODS 23 patients received a conventional intraoperative fluid management (crystalloids 5.5 ml/kg/h), whereas 22 patients obtained a liberal regimen (crystalloids approximately 11 ml/kg/h) during surgery. After surgery a thoracic epidural catheter was used in 29 patients, whereas 16 patients got a conventional intravenous analgesia. Regarding pulmonary outcome, the re-intubation rate, the postoperative oxygen saturations as well as delivery volumes and retention times of pleural drainages were evaluated. RESULTS Patients with conventional intraoperative fluid management had a less frequent reintubation rate (p = 0.015), better postoperative oxygen saturations (p = 0.043) and lower delivery volumes of pleural drainages (p = 0.027) compared to those patients with liberal volume regimen. Patients with thoracic epidural catheter had improved oxygen saturations on pulse oximetry at the first day after surgery (p < 0.001) and lower delivery volumes of pleural drainages than patients with intravenous analgesia (p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS The combination of a more restrictive fluid management (better pulmonary oxygen uptake and ventilation, less pulmonary edema) and a thoracic epidural catheter (sympatholysis, pain management) in posterior spinal fusion may be advantageous as both factors can improve pulmonary outcome.

Background: Scoliosis is one of the most common spinal deformities with subsequent decrease in pulmonary function. The effects of surgical correction on the pulmonary function of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis are controversial. The purpose of the present study was to compare the postoperative pulmonary function changes in different surgical approaches chosen for its correction. ...

Pulmonary function before and after anterior spinal surgery in adult idiopathic scoliosis.

BACKGROUND Little is known about the long term effects of anterior spinal surgery on pulmonary function in adult patients with idiopathic scoliosis. A study was therefore undertaken of pulmonary function before and after anterior spinal surgery in this group of patients. METHODS Fourteen patients (12 women) of mean age 26.5 years (range 17-50, 10 > or = 20 years) were studied. All 14 patients...

Pulmonary function in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis relative to the surgical procedure.

BACKGROUND The long-term pulmonary function of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis undergoing surgical correction is uncertain. To our knowledge, no report has demonstrated the changes in pulmonary function five years or more following spinal arthrodesis with use of modern segmental spinal instrumentation techniques for the treatment of all types of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in ...

Liberal or restrictive fluid administration in fast-track colonic surgery: a randomized, double-blind study.

BACKGROUND Evidence-based guidelines on optimal perioperative fluid management have not been established, and recent randomized trials in major abdominal surgery suggest that large amounts of fluid may increase morbidity and hospital stay. However, no information is available on detailed functional outcomes or with fast-track surgery. Therefore, we investigated the effects of two regimens of in...
