Abstrakt: Purpose: To review the results of a postoperative respiratory pathway for patients with muscular dystrophy (MD) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) undergoing spinal surgery.
Methods: With IRB approval, a retrospective review was done on all patients with SMA and MD undergoing spinal surgery on a neuromuscular protocol. Baseline demographics, perioperative results, and long-term outcomes were collected. Per the protocol, patients remained intubated after surgery and were transported to the intensive care unit (ICU) for extubation. We present the results of protocol implementation and compare patients with MD to those with SMA.
Results: Twenty-four patients were treated using the protocol. Average age was 13.1 years. Severe restrictive lung disease was present in 75% of patients. Nocturnal BiPAP was required in 68% of patients. Average number of instrumented levels was 17. All patients were immediately extubated upon entering the ICU. There were three respiratory complications and only was patient was re-intubated. Average ICU stay was 1.8 days and average hospital length of stay was 6.7 days. No differences in postoperative inspiratory or expiratory positive airway pressures were observed between the MD and SMA groups.
Conclusion: Through a multidisciplinary neuromuscular protocol, excellent clinical outcomes were achieved in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis and restrictive lung disease, with complication rates and length of stay significantly lower than previously published data.
Level of Evidence: IV.
