KARADJIAN, Alejandra et al. Anesthesia  for corrective surgery of scoliosis. Anest Analg Reanim [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.1, pp.3-3. ISSN 0255-8122.

The teaching care unit of pediatric anesthesiology of the Pereira Rossell Hospital has taken part for 5 years, in a multidisciplinary team which treats spinal disorders.  Scoliosis is a deformity of the rachis that may require corrective surgery with relevant anesthesiological implications. We made a retrospective and descriptive study of 95 anesthesiological procedures realized to patients who had a scoliosis corrective surgery between March 2011 and March 2016. The objectives of this work is to communicate our experience together with a no systematic revision of the scientific evidence available on databases like: Pubmed, Medline and SciElo. The conclusions we have reach is that a better management of patients with scoliosis is achieved by making an adequate preoperative evaluation.
