Observational Study: Awareness in Thoracolumbar Spine Surgeries with Neurophysiological Monitoring

Spine surgeries with neurophysiological monitoring is one of the most challenging surgery in view of anaesthesia. The Evoked Potential Monitors SSEP and MEP, though facilitates early detection of any intraoperative neuronal injuries is easily influenced by anaesthetic drugs and inhalational agents. Hence the anaesthetic technique has to be modified reducing the dose of inhalational agents … Read more

Correlation between central venous pressure in patients undergoing spine surgery in prone position

Background:Patients undergoing major spine surgeries are at risk of significant blood loss and hemodynamic disturbances, necessitating intraoperative monitoring of central venous pressure (CVP) to guide fluid therapy. However, CVP monitoring via central venous cannulation carries its own risks and discomfort. Peripheral venous pressure (PVP) monitoring through a peripheral intravenous catheter has been proposed as an … Read more
