Patient Safety

From Pressure to Progress: How Advanced Technology and Standard Care Are Straightening the Curve in Spine Surgery Outcomes (1 Class A CE)

Tuesday, August 12, 2025
10:45 AM - 11:45 AM CT
Location: CC- Level 4- Karl F. Dean Ballroom AB
Join us for a spine-tingling adventure into the world of intraoperative hypotension (IOH) and its surprising role in spine fusion surgeries! We'll unravel how a drop in mean arterial pressure can lead to a cascade of complications, from acute kidney injuries to surgical site infections. Discover why the first hour of your surgery is like the golden hour of hemodynamics, where better monitoring can make all the difference. Believe it or not, combining cutting-edge technology with your clinical expertise can transform patient outcomes in ways you never imagined!

Class A credit can only be earned for participation in synchronous learning via live in-person or live webinar sessions. In-person attendees can only receive Class A credit for the sessions they attend live.

Due to CE guidelines, sessions which are recorded will not be available for viewing immediately following Congress.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the relationship between IOH and postoperative complications, such as surgical site infections and cognitive dysfunction, in thoracolumbar spine fusion surgeries.
  • Assess the effectiveness of predictive hemodynamic monitoring in reducing IOH duration and its associated postoperative complications, as well as its impact on hospital length of stay.
  • Identify strategies to manage IOH as a modifiable risk factor in spine surgeries and explore how advanced hemodynamic monitoring technologies can enhance patient outcomes in complex spine procedures.
