RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Adenotonsillectomy is often curative for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea, yet children remain at high risk of respiratory complications in the postoperative period. We sought to determine the incidence and risk factors for respiratory depression and airway obstruction, as well as clinically apparent respiratory events in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) in high-risk children after adenotonsillectomy. METHODS: In this prospective cohort study, we enrolled 60 high-risk children having adenotonsillectomy. Our primary outcome was respiratory depression and airway obstruction in the PACU measured using a noninvasive respiratory volume monitor (RVM) and defined by episodes of predicted minute ventilation less than 40% for at least 2 min. We measured clinically apparent respiratory events using continuous observation by trained study staff. RESULTS: The median (range) age of our sample was 4 years (1, 16) and 27 (45%) were female. Black and Hispanic race children comprised 80% (n = 48) of our cohort. Thirty-nine (65%) had at least one episode of PACU respiratory depression or airway obstruction measured using the RVM, while only 21 (35%) had clinically apparent respiratory events. Poisson regression demonstrated the following associations with an increase in episodes of respiratory depression and airway obstruction: BMI Z-score less than -1 (estimate 3.91; [95%CI 1.49-10.23]), BMI Z-score 1-2 (estimate 2.04; [1.20-3.48]), and two or more comorbidities (estimate 1.96; [1.11-3.46]). CONCLUSIONS: Respiratory volume monitoring in the immediate postoperative period after pediatric high-risk adenotonsillectomy identifies impaired ventilation more frequently than is clinically apparent.

RESUMO

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between the presence of upper respiratory tract viral infection symptoms and occurrence of perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAE) in children with positive viral screening, and to analyze the risk of PRAE in children with SARS-CoV-2 compared to non-SARS-CoV-2 infection. DESIGN: A prospective cohort study. SETTING: A tertiary, freestanding pediatric hospital in Dallas, Texas. PATIENTS: Children <18 years of age with positive respiratory viral testing who underwent general anesthesia. INTERVENTION: Measurement of incidence of PRAE and severe adverse events during the first 7 postoperative days. MEASUREMENTS: The primary outcome was a composite of PRAE: oxygen saturation < 90% for >5 min, supplemental oxygen for >2 h after anesthesia, laryngospasm, and bronchospasm. The secondary outcome was severe adverse events: high flow nasal cannula >6 l of oxygen per minute, admission to the ICU for escalation of respiratory support post-anesthetic, acute respiratory distress syndrome, postoperative pneumonia, cardiovascular arrest, extracorporeal life support, and death. MAIN RESULTS: In this convenience sample of 196 children, 83 were symptomatic and 113 were asymptomatic. The risk of PRAE was similar in children with active viral symptoms and asymptomatic children (risk difference: -1.9%; 95% CI: -10.9, 7.9%), but higher among children with documented fever within 48 h of the anesthetic (risk difference: 20.8%; 95% CI: 5.3, 39.7%). The multivariable adjusted odds ratio of PRAE was 0.68 (95% CI: 0.25, 1.85) for symptomatic compared to asymptomatic patients, and 0.46 (95% CI: 0.14, 1.44) for patients with SARS-CoV-2 compared to non-SARS-CoV-2 infection. CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference in the incidence of PRAE between symptomatic and asymptomatic children with laboratory confirmed viral respiratory infection, and between children with the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 compared to non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory viruses. However, the risk was increased in children with recent fever.

RESUMO

We sought to examine the modern surgical treatment of spinal deformity associated with sister imprinting disorders, Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and Angelman syndrome (AS), with emphasis on the specific complications encountered in these patient populations. Fifteen patients with PWS and 5 patients with AS who underwent surgical intervention for spinal deformity between 2000 and 2018 were identified. Postoperative complications were classified using the modified Clavien-Dindo-Sink (CDS) system and further categorized into specific subtypes including excessive drainage, dehiscence, implant failure, infection, and delayed wound healing. Perioperative and final follow-up radiographic data were analyzed. Mean age at surgery was 12.9 years (range, 4-21 years) with mean follow-up of 46.1 months (range, 1-145 months). There were postoperative complications in 17 patients (85%). Ten major complications (CDS ≥ 3) occurred in 9 patients (45%). These included 5 infections requiring reoperation, 1 seroma requiring drainage, 2 severe cervical-thoracic deformities requiring reoperation, 1 implant failure requiring reoperation, and 1 death secondary to fungal sepsis and thromboembolic disease. Eight additional patients (40%) had minor complications (CDS 1 or 2). Eight intraoperative complications occurred in 5 patients (25%), including loss of neuromonitoring signals and cerebrospinal fluid leaks. Surgical intervention for scoliosis in PWS and AS continues to have high complication rates secondary to medical and behavioral comorbidities found in these patient populations. The exact etiology of the high complication rates encountered cannot be definitively stated, but both syndromes frequently present with a number of unique features that may predispose patients to develop surgical complications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In patients with Scheuermann kyphosis (SK) undergoing posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation (PSFI), intraoperative lateral radiographs assess deformity correction in the prone position. The relationship between thoracic and (partially un-instrumented) lumbar parameters on prone intraoperative versus standing postoperative radiographs is unknown. METHODS: Forty-five consecutive patients with SK who underwent PSFI between 2007 and 2014 were reviewed. Thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), instrumented level kyphosis [upper instrumented vertebrae (UIV)-lower instrumented vertebrae (LIV)], and traditional sagittal parameters were recorded from preoperative standing, intraoperative prone, first outpatient standing, and >2-year standing radiographs and time periods were compared. Exclusion criteria included reduction modification after intraoperative radiographs and postoperative construct revision prohibiting comparison to initial intraoperative radiographs. RESULTS: Twenty-five patients averaging 16 (12 to 20) years old during surgery with 3.1 (2 to 7) years follow-up met inclusion criteria. Average surgical variables included: 13±1 fusion levels, UIV at T2, LIV at L3, 3.8±1.6 osteotomies per patient, and 43±9% correction of TK. Preoperative TK and LL measured 82 and 76 degrees, respectively. TK on intraoperative (47 degrees), 6-week (49 degrees), and >2-year (50 degrees) radiographs changed significantly only between intraoperative and >2-year radiographs (P=0.03) by just 3 degrees. LL increased 5 degrees from intraoperative prone to 6-week standing radiographs (51 to 56 degrees, P=0.01) without further significant change at >2 years (59 degrees, P=0.09). Instrumented levels (UIV-LIV) had increased kyphosis at 6 weeks (32 to 35 degrees, P=0.01) without further change at >2 years (36 degrees, P=0.06). CONCLUSIONS: TK on intraoperative prone radiographs during PSFI for SK should match the standing TK ∼6 weeks later. Intraoperative prone LL only slightly increases on early standing radiographs. Assuming a routine postoperative course, intraoperative radiographs slightly underestimate TK (by 3 degrees) and LL (by 8 degrees) on >2-year standing radiographs. These parameters (TK, LL, UIV-LIV) are visualized during surgery and should be used in future studies to predict long-term outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV-retrospective study.

RESUMO

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case-controlled study. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the overall performance and outcome of two-a-day surgery days for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). As a method to improve efficiency and operating room utilization, some surgeons are now performing two surgeries for AIS in a single day. METHODS: A prospectively collected series of AIS patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion on the same day as a second AIS patient by the same surgeon and surgical team were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent same-day surgery (SD) were grouped according to whether they were the first (SD1) or second (SD2) case of the day and were matched (M1 and M2) by surgeon, curve magnitude, Lenke classification, and fusion levels. Comparisons were made: SD1 vs. SD2, SD1 vs. M1, and SD2 vs. M2. RESULTS: There were 56 patients, with no differences between groups in age, gender, BMI, or curve magnitude (66° vs. 62° vs. 65° vs. 63°). Surgical time was shorter for the SD1 group (17.2 min/level) compared to M1 (20.5 min/level) for a 15% operative time reduction of 44 min (p = 0.008). There were no differences between the groups in curve correction (65.8% vs. 62.8% vs. 66.1% vs. 58.5%), estimated blood loss (EBL), length of stay, or complication rate. One SD2 patient had a malpositioned screw that required revision. There were no other complications. CONCLUSIONS: When performing two AIS surgeries on the same day, surgical time was reduced by 44 min, or 15%, on the first case compared to a matched control. This may be a reflection of the team moving along more efficiently, given the full operative day scheduled. The performance measures of curve correction, EBL, complications, and length of stay did not decline in this new model, and no increased incidence of complications was seen.

RESUMO

STUDY DESIGN: Case-control study. OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the rate and risk factors for perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) in primary idiopathic scoliosis surgery at a single institution. Avoiding perioperative ABT is ideal as transfusions are associated with adverse reactions, increased rates of infection, prolonged hospitalization, additional laboratory testing, and increased cost. Risk factors identified in other studies have differed, and to our knowledge, few studies have identified clinical strategies to predict patients at high risk for ABT. METHODS: We reviewed 402 idiopathic scoliosis patients who underwent primary posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation (PSFI) at a single institution from 2015 to 2017. Medical records and radiographs were reviewed for all patients. Transfused patients were compared to the remaining cohort to find significant differences and identify predictors of higher ABT risk. RESULTS: ABT occurred in 73 patients (18.2%), with the majority of transfusions occurring intraoperatively (41%) or postoperatively on the day of surgery (25%). The seven surgeons involved varied significantly in incidence of ABT (2.4-35.8%, p = 0.002). Patients who had ABT were younger (13.3 vs. 14.1 years, p < 0.01), had lower BMI (48th vs. 61st percentile, p < 0.001), and lower preoperative hemoglobin (13.1 vs. 13.7 g/dL, p < 0.01). Greater preoperative major Cobb angle (69° vs. 61.5°, p < 0.001), number of fusion levels (11.8 vs. 10.3, p < 0.001), and estimated blood loss (770 vs. 448 mL, p < 0.001) also predicted ABT. CONCLUSIONS: ABT was associated with several risk factors, five of which are known preoperatively. Surgeons can use knowledge of these risk factors to assess transfusion risk preoperatively and plan surgery, blood management, and laboratory testing accordingly. The development of best practices for ordering ABT is possible given the variation amongst providers. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.
