Benefits of a spine team for the surgical management of paediatric scoliosis.

Background: For many years, blood-saving techniques and the enhanced recovery after surgery approach have been used to optimise the quality of care and shorten hospital stays. The creation of dedicated spine teams combining surgeons and anaesthesiologists specialised in spine surgery has been proven beneficial in adults. The objective of this study was to determine whether involving a spine team in the management of paediatric patients with scoliosis treated by posterior spinal fusion was associated with shorter hospital stays.

Contribution of Coordination Theories to the Determination of Human Factors Associated With Operating Room Perceived Performance.

Background: The efficient and fluid organization of surgical interventions in an operating room (OR) and operating suite (OS) is important as these are among the most expensive units to run in medical-surgical facilities. The complexity of OS organization requires careful coordination, defined here as the directing of individuals' efforts toward achieving common and explicitly recognized goals. There is currently sparse literature on OS coordination, especially in the French context.

Intravenous lidocaine for postoperative analgesia management in paediatrics: A systematic review with meta-analysis of published studies.

Background: The administration of intravenous lidocaine during the peri-operative period may improve pain management after paediatric surgery.

Objective: To explore the decrease in postoperative pain intensity and opioid consumption associated with peri-operative lidocaine administration in the paediatric population.

Design: A systematic review with meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials and a Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) analysis.
