[Methods of anesthesia during surgical treatment for scoliosis in children].

Various anesthetic methods during surgical simultaneous double-stage correction of scoliotic deformity in the spine were analyzed in 73 children. Analgesic quality was assessed from central hemodynamics and some biochemical parameters of stress, the volume of blood loss, and the number of complications. Forty children were operated on under general sevofluorane + fentanyl anesthesia and artificial ventilation. In 33 children, this general anesthesia mode was added by epidural analgesia with 1% morphine solution in 10-12 ml of a solvent. Epidural morphine analgesia used in the complex of general anesthesia upgraded the quality of nociceptive defense, substantially decreased the consumption of systemic narcotic analgesics, an anesthetic, and relaxants, lowered blood loss by 10%, and reduced the number of postoperative complications by 20%.
