Brief summary: The implementation of an enhanced rehabilitation after surgery (ERAS) program in major orthopedic surgery and in scoliosis surgery in children and adolescents has become a marker of good practice. Investigators are already applying anesthetic, surgical, peri-operative medicine and rehabilitation techniques allowing accelerated and improved rehabilitation for scoliosis operated patients in the establishment. To improve patient care, the Investigators want to develop the ERAS program. The objective of this research will be to validate the feasibility of getting up early on D0 in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) or ICU in children who have just had surgery for idiopathic scoliosis.

Detailed description: The study hypothesize that entry into an early mobilizing physiotherapy program, i.e., from the immediate postoperative period, from the PACU or the ICU, could improve the outcome of patients in terms of pain, anxiety, re-empowerment, length of stay and ultimately overall satisfaction.

Following a general anesthesia, the patient is monitored in the PACU the time to recover respiratory, neurological and hemodynamic autonomy. It is also in PACU that the team optimize pain management, through opioid treatments if necessary.

The first physiotherapy sessions including sitting on the edge of the bed and getting up for the first time are technical acts that require good cooperation from the patient and adequate pain relief. Usually, physiotherapy rehabilitation is started on the first postoperative day. However, once the stability of vital functions and the analgesia have been optimized, the early postoperative phase seems to be a privileged moment to begin this rehabilitation program. This early physiotherapy treatment could also have a beneficial psychological effect on the rest of the treatment.

Although most centers tend to generalize ERAS programs and early rehabilitation techniques, to date there is no publication on the feasibility of early rehabilitation from the immediate postoperative period, nor on the expected benefit of such a program. The fact of starting the rehabilitation immediately postoperatively or as soon as the PACU could have several advantages. The optimization of pain management performed in the PACU could facilitate the physiotherapy session. In addition, it turns out that the rehabilitation and progressive re-empowerment of the patient have a positive psychological and physical effect on the rest of the treatment. The early re-empowerment of the patient allows him to regain control of his body and his care which has a positive psychological effect on the care. Early mobilization fights muscle contracture with positive effects on pain and patient comfort.

This research propose to validate the feasibility of standing up early on D0 in PACU or ICU in children who have just had surgery for idiopathic scoliosis. Immediately postoperatively, during his stay in a PACU or ICU, the patient will be offered a physiotherapy session including a lifting phase in a bipedal standing position.
