Pulmonary Compliance Changes During Manipulation of Early Onset Scoliosis and Cast Application

NCT02558985 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2023-02-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

No interventions outside the normal course of patient care. The investigators will be collecting data at specified points throughout the casting process.

The proposed study will measure lung compliance during the casting process for spinal manipulation. Research questions include: Is there a quantifiable change in lung compliance during the casting process? Is there an individual change in lung compliance over time comparing collection points at each cast change? Is there a change in appearance of flow-volume loop? Is there a decrease in oxygen saturation from post-induction baseline? The investigators hypothesize that there is a change in lung compliance and a decrease in oxygen saturation during the casting process.

Conditions

  • Scoliosis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Casting

Serial casting is used to partially correct the deformity before beginning bracing. A cast can be considered a full-time brace which cannot be removed.
