Abstract

As after any surgical procedure, the spinal patient is transferred to the postoperative surveillance room. There, a nurse will closely monitor the patient's vital parameters. Particular vigilance is deployed to identify possible complications related to the operation, some of which are specific to scoliosis. The management of postoperative pain is also at the heart of the care.

Keywords: nursing supervision; postoperative; postoperative monitoring room; postopératoire; rachis; salle de surveillance postinterventionnelle; spine; surveillance infirmière.
