Clinical Trial Summary

Fever is a common clinical symptom in patients with postoperative scoliosis. However, there are rare reports of immediately fevers occurring following operative procedures.


Clinical Trial Description

Postoperative fever is a common clinical symptom in patients following spinal surgery, with an incidence of 13.2%, and 64.5% of patients with neuromuscular scoliosis were observed to develop postoperative fevers. The most frequently observed cause of fever is surgical trauma, which is associated with inflammatory responses to surgery, and such fevers typically resolve within 2-3 days. This self-limited cause of postoperative fever is non-pathological,4 and the severity and duration of such fevers depend on the duration, scope, and type of surgery, and whether a mesh graft was inserted. The aetiology of immediate postoperative fever for patients following hip prosthesis implantation is unknown, and it is inexpedient to initiate antibiotic treatment or to increase the prophylactic antibiotic dosage. However, there are rare reports of chills and fevers occurring immediately following spinal surgery, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports on the mechanism of immediate postoperative fever following spinal surgery. Based on this evidence and on observation, when patients experience postoperative fevers, nearly all surgeons seek to exclude infection as a cause. The case presented in this paper is that of a 15-year-old female with idiopathic scoliosis who underwent posterior idiopathic scoliosis incision and correction for pedicle fixation. The clinical symptoms of interest, including chills, a high fever, an increased heart rate and increased blood pressure, were observed immediately during the course of anaesthesia resuscitation. In this report, risk factors, treatment and prevention are assessed based on the case evidence. ;
