Video Summary

Dr. Owiyocho Adogwa presents an abstract titled "Interdisciplinary Care Model Decreases Use of Critical Care Services After Corrective Surgery for Adult Degenerative Scoliosis". The abstract discusses the need to optimize patient care for those undergoing big operations and the rising healthcare costs associated with critical care services. The abstract proposes a geriatric neurosurgical care model that involves multiple disciplines in the pre-operative setting to identify high-risk patients and mitigate risk factors for complications. Preliminary data from a prospective study shows promising outcomes, including a decrease in hospital stay length and ICU transfers. The study suggests that interdisciplinary co-management can reduce healthcare resource utilization and cost.
