Survey of anesthesia practice in spine surgery patients in the United States.
There is a wide range of anesthetic practice in spine surgery with respect to anesthetic choice, blood conservation, and monitoring. There is no ideal technique with respect to each of these choices. This study was designed to determine the usual practice for members of the Society of Neurosurgical Anesthesia and Critical Care (SNACC), with regard to the use of anesthetic technique, the type of monitoring used (and the person responsible for its application and interpretation), and the blood conservation strategies most often utilized for the management of patients undergoing spinal surgery. ⋯ The most frequent monitoring utilized for major spinal surgeries is SSEP. Autologous donation and intraoperative salvage are the most frequent blood conservation methods utilized.
