Evidence-based standardization of the perioperative management of patients undergoing complex spine surgery can improve outcomes such as enhanced patient satisfaction, reduced intensive care and hospital length of stay, and reduced costs. The Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care (SNACC) tasked an expert group to review existing evidence and generate recommendations for the perioperative management of patients undergoing complex spine surgery, defined as surgery on 2 or more thoracic and/or lumbar spine levels. Institutional clinical management protocols can be constructed based on the elements included in these clinical practice guidelines, and the evidence presented.

对接受复杂脊柱手术的患者围手术期管理进行循证标准化可以改善结果，例如提高患者满意度、减少重症监护和住院时间以及降低成本。麻醉和重症监护神经科学学会 (SNACC) 委托一个专家组审查现有证据，并为接受复杂脊柱手术（定义为 2 个或更多胸椎和/或腰椎水平的手术）的患者的围手术期管理提出建议。可以根据这些临床实践指南中包含的元素和提供的证据来构建机构临床管理协议。
