Why the study?
Does the presence of neuromuscular disease increase the risk of extensive blood loss in paediatric patients undergoing scoliosis surgery?
Does the presence of neuromuscular disease increase the risk of extensive blood loss in paediatric patients undergoing scoliosis surgery?
Paediatric patients with neuromuscular disease undergoing scoliosis surgery have a significantly higher risk of extensive intraoperative blood loss, independent of the extent of surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant enhanced blood conservation planning in neuromuscular scoliosis surgery; extends risk associations but leaves causality and interventions open.
Edler et al. (2003) studied this question.
