The Impact of Intraoperative Haemodynamic Monitoring, Prediction of Hypotension and Goal-Directed Therapy on the Outcomes of Patients Treated with Posterior Fusion Due to Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

A prospective, single-centre, non-randomised, case–control study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative haemodynamic monitoring, prediction of hypotension and goal-directed therapy on the outcomes of patients undergoing posterior fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The control group (n = 35, mean age: 15 years) received standard blood pressure control during surgery, while the intervention group (n = 24, mean age: 14 years) underwent minimally invasive haemodynamic monitoring and goal-directed therapy. The intervention group showed significantly shorter durations of hypotension (mean arterial pressure < 60 mmHg), reduced hospital stays and smaller decreases in post-surgery haemoglobin levels. Additionally, the intervention group experienced shorter times from the end of surgery to extubation. These findings suggest that incorporating targeted interventions during intraoperative care for AIS patients undergoing posterior fusion can lead to improved outcomes.
