A multidisciplinary team approach to perioperative care for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is essential for preventing complications, minimizing blood loss, and accelerating discharge.
A multidisciplinary team approach and specific perioperative measures are essential for improving outcomes and reducing complications in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery.
May support multidisciplinary perioperative care in scoliosis surgery but should not yet change practice; leaves open need for prospective validation.
The complex nature of the surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) requires a wide variety of health care providers. A well-coordinated, multidisciplinary team approach to the care of these patients is essential for providing high-quality care. This review offers an up-to-date overview of the numerous interventions and safety measures for improving outcomes after AIS surgery throughout the perioperative phases of care. Reducing the risk of potentially devastating and costly complications after AIS surgery is the responsibility of every single member of the health care team. Specifically, this review will focus on the perioperative measures for preventing surgical site infections, reducing the risk of neurologic injury, minimizing surgical blood loss, and preventing postoperative complications. Also, the review will highlight the postoperative protocols that emphasize early mobilization and accelerated discharge.
