Anesthetic management of a patient with spinal muscular atrophy type II for scoliosis surgery: a case report
For patients with SMA undergoing scoliosis surgery, total intravenous anesthesia without muscle relaxants and continuous thoracolumbar dorsal ramus nerve block after surgery have been proven to be both efficient and safe. It is also crucial to implement preoperative multidisciplinary consultation, lung-protective ventilation strategy, appropriate anesthetic drugs, reasonable blood transfusion scheme, as well as strengthened postoperative monitoring and multimodal analgesia.
