Obesity and Spine Surgery
Background
• 35% of adults in the US are
obese
• Most common in middle-age and older
adults
• Obesity is associated with
increased risk for other
diseases that may increase
perioperative risk.
• Risk factors for complications
after major spine surgery:
• Co-morbidities
• Age
• Case Complexity
Ogden CL. JAMA 2014; 311:806-14
Shen Y. J Neurosurg Anesthesiol 2009;21:21-30
• Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project’s California Database
• Of 84,607 spine fusions 1,455 (2%) were morbidly obese
• Compared to normal weight, morbid obesity was associated with:
• Increased hospital LOS by 1.3 days
• Complications:
• Overall: (14% vs. 7%)
• Most common: Wound complication (6% vs. 3%)
• 28% increased cost ($23K)
• Higher mortality rate (0.8% vs. 0.3%, p=0.0002)
SPINE 2012;37:982-8.
• American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality
Improvement Program Database (NSQIP)
• 24,196 adults having lumbar spine decompression or fusion
• Stratified based on BMI:
• Normal (BMI=18.5-24.9 kg/m2)
• Overweight (BMI=25-29.9 kg/m2)
• Class 1 obesity (BMI=30-34.9 kg/m2)
• Class 2 obesity (BMI=35-39.9 kg/m2)
• Class 3 obesity (BMI>40 kg/m2)
• Excluded underweight (BMI<18.5 kg/m2)

Patient Perceptions of Outcome
• More long-term back and leg pain
• Lower long-term functional status
• Lower perceived improvement
• More likely to be dissatisfied with their surgical
outcome.
Blindness
Differential Diagnosis of Post-Operative
Visual Loss
• Pre-operative visual impairment
• Corneal Abrasion
• Exacerbation of glaucoma
• Central retinal artery occlusion
• Retinal detachment
• Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy
• Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy
• Glycine-induced visual loss
• Stroke
• Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
Earlier Data
• Ischemic optic neuropathy was the cause in most cases
• More common in men
• Healthy and young patients were not immune
• Greatest risk with multilevel lumbar/lumbosacral fusion
• Most are bilateral
• Most do not recover “usable” vision
• Rate 0.017%-0.1%

Antifibrinolytics and Spine Surgery
Background
• Bleeding is a major complication of major spine surgery
• Recent meta-analysis of data from adults WITHOUT
protective strategies:1
• Rate of RBC transfusions: 50-81%
• Range of total EBL: 650-2839 mL
• Transfusions are NOT benign!
1Elgafy H. Spine 2010;35:S47-56
Some Perioperative Blood Conservation
Strategies
• Optimize preoperative use of anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs
• Autologous pre-donation
• Acute normovolemic hemodilution
• Intraoperative red blood cell salvage
• Hemostatic drugs
• Antifibrinolytics
• Recombinant activated factor VIIA
• Desmopressin
• Controlled hypotension
• Maintenance of normothermia
• Intrathecal morphine
• Surgical modifications
• Restrictive transfusion trigger

• 9 RCTs including 581 patients
• Variable dosing of tranexamic acid
• Decrease in intraoperative EBL: 128 ml (p=0.008)
• Decrease in postoperative EBL: 99 ml (p<0.001)
• Decrease in total EBL: 389 ml (p=0.003)
• 39% reduction in rate allogenic transfusion (p<0.0001)
• 1 DVT reported. No other thrombotic complications
Yang B.PLOS ONE 2013;8:e55436
Tranexamic Acid Versus AMICAR
• 84 patients with scoliosis
• EBL:
• 51% decrease with tranexamic acid
• 7% decrease with amicar
• Total blood transfused:
• 13% decrease with tranexamic acid
• 20% INCREASE with amicar
• Cell salvage transfusion:
• 45% decrease with tranexamic acid
• 14% INCREASE with amicar
Dhawale AA. Spine 2012;37:E549-55.
Tranexamic Acid vs. AMICAR
• Meta-analysis or RCTs:
• Tranexamic acid vs. placebo (n=7 studies)
• AMICAR vs. placebo (n=2 studies)
• Mean difference in total blood loss:
• Tranexamic acid vs. placebo = -285 ml (CI = -507 to -64 ml; p=0.01)
• AMICAR vs. placebo = -338 ml (CI = - 583 to -93 ml; p<0.005)
• Mean difference in blood transfused:
• Tranexamic acid vs. placebo = -243 ml (CI = -423 to -63 ml; p=0.008)
• AMICAR vs. placebo = -358 ml (CI = -608 to -108 ml; p=0.005)
• DVT rates:
• 0 per 335 in experimental groups
• 3 per 329 in control groups
Yuan C. PlosOne 2013;8: e82063
Summary - Antifibrinolytics
• Tranexamic acid is probably effective at
reducing:
• Intraoperative blood loss
• Postoperative blood loss
• Red blood cell transfusion rates
• Superior drug is unclear
• Higher doses are probably more effective
• Theoretical concern of thrombotic/vaso-occlusive
complications
• Overall low rates of complications
Thank You

  • 32. Summary - Antifibrinolytics • Tranexamic acid is probably effective at reducing: • Intraoperative blood loss • Postoperative blood loss • Red blood cell transfusion rates • Superior drug is unclear • Higher doses are probably more effective • Theoretical concern of thrombotic/vaso-occlusive complications • Overall low rates of complications
