Neuromuscular Scoliosis Spinal Fusion Clinical Pathway — ICU, Inpatient, Outpatient Specialty Care
Goals
To standardize the perioperative management of patients with neuromuscular scoliosis following posterior spinal fusion with a focus on:
- Clarifying expectations for surgery based on anticipated level of complexity
- Reducing variation in practice
- Optimizing pain control
- Minimizing post-operative complications
Metrics
Increase
- Communication among surgery, anesthesia, critical care providers
Decrease
- Hospital length of stay
- Post-operative surgical site infection (SSI) rate
- Post-operative complications
- Surgical cancellations
