ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore and analyze the selection of surgical methods for supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods:A total of 260 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent surgery in Department of Neurosurgery, Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2017 to December 2021 were included in the study by retrospective case analysis. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into three groups: large bone flap group ( n=116), conventional bone flap group( n=89)and stereotactic group( n=55). The large bone flap group underwent standard supratentorial large bone flap craniotomy, the conventional bone flap group underwent conventional bone flap craniotomy, and the stereotactic group underwent stereotactic hematoma puncture suction + drainage. Clinical indicators such as operation time, intraoperative bleeding, pulmonary infection, length of hospital stay, and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) at 6 months of postoperative follow-up, and the proportion of good prognosis (GOS 4-5) were calculated. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation( ± s), count data were expressed as cases and percentages (%). Results:In the large bone flap group, the operation time, intraoperative bleeding, hospital stay, pulmonary infection, postoperative rebleeding were(193±24) min, (625±65) mL, (46±11) d, 102 patients(87%), 9 patients(7.8%), and (124±17) min, (297±35) mL, (32±9) d, 29 patients(33%), 4 patients(4.4%)in the conventional bone flap group, and (73±11) min, (53±15) mL, (21±4) d, 10 patients(18%), 2 patients(3.6%)in stereotactic group. All patients were followed up for 6 months, and 165 patients (63.5%) had good prognosis (GOS 4-5), including 36 patients (31%) in the large bone flap group, 82 patients (93.2%) in the conventional bone flap group, and 47 patients (85.5%) in the stereotactic group.Conclusion:Standard large craniectomy has sufficient effect of decompression, and is suitable for serious life threatening hematoma; Conventional craniotomy has advantages in the treatment of secondary intracerebral hemorrhage. Stereotactic surgery has the characteristics of short operation time, less intraoperative bleeding, short hospital stay and low incidence of pulmonary infection, which is worthy of promotion in the treatment of primary intracerebral hemorrhage.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of continuous monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) and brain oxygen partial pressure (PbtO 2) on the prognosis of patients with severe craniocerebral injury. Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Seventy patients with severe craniocerebral injury with a Glasgow coma score (GCS) 4-8 admitted to the neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU) of the People's Hospital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from January 2017 to May 2020 were enrolled, and they were divided into ICP monitoring group and ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group by random number table. Patients in ICP monitoring group received ICP monitoring and were given traditional treatment of controlling ICP and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), the therapeutic target was ICP < 20 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) and CPP > 60 mmHg. Patients in ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group were given ICP and PbtO 2 monitoring at the same time, and oxygen flow was adjusted on the basis of controlling ICP and CPP to maintain the PbtO 2 > 20 mmHg, and the therapeutic target of ICP and CPP was the same as the ICP monitoring group. ICP and PbtO 2 values were recorded during monitoring in the two groups, the results of CPP, GCS and arterial blood gas analysis were recorded, and the prognosis at 3 months and 6 months after injury was compared by Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score between the two groups. GOS score > 3 was considered as good prognosis. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn, and the 3-month and 6-month cumulative survival rates of the two groups were analyzed. Linear regression analysis was used to further evaluate the relationship between PbtO 2 and GOS score. Results:Finally, a total of 70 patients with severe craniocerebral injury were enrolled in the analysis, 34 patients received ICP combined with PbtO 2 monitoring and guided therapy, and 36 patients received ICP monitoring alone. The average ICP of ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group was significantly lower than that of ICP monitoring group (mmHg: 13.4±3.2 vs. 18.2±8.3, P < 0.01). Although the CPP in both groups was great than 60 mmHg, the average CPP of ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group was significantly higher than that of ICP monitoring group (mmHg: 82.1±10.5 vs. 74.5±11.6, P < 0.01). No significant difference was found in average GCS score or arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) between the ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group and ICP monitoring group [GCS score: 5.3±2.3 vs. 5.2±2.2, PaCO 2 (mmHg): 33.5±4.8 vs. 32.6±5.2, both P > 0.05]. The average arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2) of ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group was obviously higher than that of ICP monitoring group (mmHg: 228.4±93.6 vs. 167.3±81.2, P < 0.01). Compared with the ICP monitoring group, the good outcome rates of 3 months and 6 months after injury in the ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group were significantly higher (3 months: 67.6% vs. 38.9%, 6 months: 70.6% vs. 41.7%, both P < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the 3-month and 6-month cumulative survival rates of ICP+PbtO 2 monitoring group were significantly higher than those of ICP monitoring group (3 months: 85.3% vs. 61.1%, Log-Rank test: χ2 = 5.171, P = 0.023; 6 months: 79.4% vs. 55.6%, Log-Rank test: χ2 = 4.511, P = 0.034). Linear regression analysis showed that PbtO 2 was significantly correlated with GOS score at 3 months and 6 months after injury in patients with severe craniocerebral injury ( r values were 0.951 and 0.933, both P < 0.01). Conclusions:PbtO 2 compared with ICP monitoring guiding therapy is valuable in improving the prognosis of patients with severe craniocerebral injury. It can improve the prognosis at 3-6 months after injury.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the application of continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) combined with regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO 2) monitoring in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage before and after operation of the removal hematoma through small bone window and the effect on the prognosis of patients. Methods:The clinical data of 37 patients with supratentorial hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage admitted to the neurosurgical intensive care unit of the people′s Hospital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from April 2018 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.ICP monitoring and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) were used to monitor the intracranial pressure and rScO 2 concentration before and after the operation, and the changes of intracranial pressure and rScO 2 before and after the operation were analyzed.According to Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS), patients with GOS score>3 were classified as good prognosis group (21 cases), and those with GOS score ≤3 were classified as poor prognosis group (16 cases). Results:The postoperative intracranial pressure((15.80±6.70) mmHg)of patientswith hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage was lower than that before operation((20.40±5.80) mmHg), and the difference was statistically significant( t=3.226, P=0.002). The postoperative rScO 2 ((62.31±3.85)% )of patientswith hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage was higher than that before operation((59.73±3.13)%), and the difference was statistically significant( t=3.171, P=0.002). The decrease of intracranial pressure in patients with good prognosis((6.53±2.21) mmHg)was more obvious than that in patients with poor prognosis((4.24±2.30) mmHg). The concentration of rScO 2 increased in both groups.But in the group with good prognosis, the rScO 2 increased((3.99±2.34)%)was significantly higher than that in poor prognosis group((2.32±2.25)%). Six months after operation, there were significant differences in preoperative and postoperative intracranial pressure and rScO 2 between good prognosis group and poor prognosis group, and the difference was statistically significant( t=3.090, 2.176; P=0.004, 0.036). Conclusion:Small bone window evacuation of intracerebral hematoma can significantly reduce the concentration of intracranial pressure and increase the concentration of rScO 2 in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.The changes of intracranial pressure and rScO 2 before and after operation have potential value in judging the prognosis of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the role of multimodal neuronavigation intraoperative and sodium fluorescein-guided techniques in microsurgery for intracranial malignant neoplasm.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 50 patients with intracranial malignant tumors treated by microsurgery from 2016 to 2019 in Inner Mongolia People′s Hospital. Preoperative imaging included computed tomography (CT), computed tomographic angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MRI: MRA, MRV, DWI, PWI, DTI, DTI, MRS sequence scan, and before the operation, they were fused with the functional nervous system navigation workstation of Bo Yilai to make the navigation plan. During the operation, the functional navigation was combined with low dose fluorescein sodium (2 mg/kg) for operation. Intraoperative neuronavigation was used to determine the location of the tumor and its spatial relationship with the pyramidal tract of the main fiber conduction tract and the large blood vessels, and intraoperative yellow fluorescence mode of pentero900 Zeiss microscope showed the boundary between the tumor and normal brain tissue for tumor resection.Results:There were 38 cases of glioma, 10 cases of brain metastasis of lung cancer, 1 case of brain metastasis of renal clear cell carcinoma and 1 case of spindle cell tumor. The accuracy of preoperative neuronavigation was 95%. Compared with the preoperative lesions, MRI of the head was reexamined 3 days after operation to judge the degree of tumor resection. In this group, 38 cases (76%) were totally resected and 12 cases (24%) were subtotal resected. The 6-month survival rate was 85.9%, the 12-month survival rate was 53.1%, the 18-month survival rate was 24.5%, and the survival time was (15.0 ± 3.2) months.Conclusion:Multimodal functional neuronavigation combined with fluorescein sodium staining can locate and label tumors in real time, improve tumor resection rate, and improve the prognosis of brain cancer patients.
