Influence of intraoperative use of saline and balanced salt solution on nerve function recovery in patients with brain trauma / 局解手术学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the influence of intraoperative use of saline and balanced salt solution on postoperative nerve function recovery in patients with brain trauma.Methods Totally 120 patients were randomly divided into the saline group and the balanced salt solu-tion group,and the postoperative nerve function recovery of the two groups were observed.Results The level of pH and HCO3 -24 hours af-ter operation in the saline group were lower than those in the balanced salt solution group (P <0.05),while the level of Cl - in the saline group was higer than that in the balanced salt solution group (P <0.05).The intracranial pressure and preoperative Glasgow coma score (GCS)of the two groups had no statistical significance (P =0.94).And the Glasgow coma score at 336 hours and 672 hours after opreation of the two groups were of statistical significance (P =0.00,P =0.03).The mortality of the saline group and the balanced solution group 28days after surgery were 15% and 10% respectively,and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P =0.58).Conclusion Saline resuscitation during surgery would lead to hyperchloremic acidosis as well as worse nerve function.However,the perfusion of balanced salt solution during the operation is more favorable to the recovery of neurological function.
