Perioperative Management of Patients with Implanted Neuromodulation Devices

In this webinar, Dr. Eshraghi (Ochsner Health System), Dr. Bautista (University of Louisville), and Dr. Kohan (University of Virginia) will discuss perioperative management of patients with implanted neuromodulation devices, including peripheral nerve stimulation, intrathecal drug delivery systems, and spinal cord stimulators. The session will focus on key preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations, with practical guidance on neuraxial anesthesia, device safety, and risk mitigation. Participants will gain insight into pre-procedural planning, technique modifications, multidisciplinary communication, and strategies to prevent complications such as electromagnetic interference, infection, device malfunction, and inadequate analgesia.
