RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Awake surgery is now a common approach for the resection of glioma. One of the surgical complications is mini-stroke which take the form of periresectional small areas of brain ischemic lesions. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the association between factors related to anesthetic management and the risk of mini-stroke, in awake surgery for glioma resection. METHODS: In this single-center retrospective study, all patients who were operated on, between 2011 and 2022, in awake conditions for a glioma resection, were retrospectively included. The studied anesthetic parameters included hemodynamic variables, fluid intake and urinary output. The primary endpoint was the presence of mini-stroke on a magnetic resonance imaging performed within the first 48 h postoperatively. RESULTS: A total of 176 surgeries were included. Mini-stroke was present in 120/171 surgeries (70%), with a median volume of 1.2 interquartile range [0.4-2.2] cubic centimeters (cc). In a multivariable analysis, only the per operative urinary output was significantly associated with the incidence of postoperative mini-strokes (adjusted odd-ratio 0.65, 95% confidence interval 0.45-0.94, p = 0.02). No variables related to the anesthetic management were associated with the volume of postoperative mini-strokes. In particular, the time spent below 90% of the baseline systolic blood pressure was not associated with either the risk or the volume of mini-strokes. CONCLUSION: During awake surgery for glioma resection, among several anesthesia related factors, only the per operative urinary output was associated with the incidence of postoperative mini-stroke.

INTRODUCTION: Preoperative cognitive impairments increase the risk of postoperative complications. The electroencephalogram (EEG) could provide information on cognitive vulnerability. The feasibility and clinical relevance of sleep EEG (EEGsleep ) compared to intraoperative EEG (EEGintraop ) in cognitive risk stratification remains to be explored. We investigated similarities between EEGsleep and EEGintraop vis-a-vis preoperative cognitive impairments. METHODS: Pilot study including 27 patients (63 year old [53.5, 70.0]) to whom Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) and EEGsleep were administered 1 day before a propofol-based general anaesthesia, in addition to EEGintraop acquisition from depth-of-anaesthesia monitors. Sleep spindles on EEGsleep and intraoperative alpha-band power on EEGintraop were particularly explored. RESULTS: In total, 11 (41%) patients had a MoCA <25 points. These patients had a significantly lower sleep spindle power on EEGsleep (25 vs. 40 µv2 /Hz, p = .035) and had a weaker intraoperative alpha-band power on EEGintraop (85 vs. 150 µv2 /Hz, p = .001) compared to patients with normal MoCA. Correlation between sleep spindle and intraoperative alpha-band power was positive and significant (r = 0.544, p = .003). CONCLUSION: Preoperative cognitive impairment appears to be detectable by both EEGsleep and EEGintraop . Preoperative sleep EEG to assess perioperative cognitive risk is feasible but more data are needed to demonstrate its benefit compared to intraoperative EEG.

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative arterial hypotension (IOH) leads to increased postoperative morbidity. Norepinephrine is often use to treat IOH. The question regarding the mode of administration in either a bolus or continuous infusion remains unanswered. The aim of the present study was to describe and compare the effects on macrocirculation and microcirculation of a bolus and a continuous infusion of norepinephrine to treat IOH. METHODS: We conducted a prospective observational study with adult patients who underwent neurosurgery. Patients with invasive arterial blood pressure and cardiac output (CO) monitoring were screened for inclusion. All patients underwent microcirculation monitoring by video-capillaroscopy, laser doppler, near-infrared spectroscopy technology, and tissular CO2. In case of IOH, the patient could receive either a bolus of 10 µg or a continuous infusion of 200 µg/h of norepinephrine. Time analysis for comparison between bolus and continuous infusion were at peak of MAP. The primary outcome was MFI by videocapillaroscopy. RESULTS: Thirty-five patients were included, with 41 boluses and 33 continuous infusion. Bolus and continuous infusion induced an maximal increase in mean arterial pressure of +30[20-45] and +23[12-34] %, respectively (P=0,07). For macrocirculatory parameters, continuous infusion was associated with a smaller decrease in CO and stroke volume (p<0.05). For microcirculatory parameters, microvascular flow index (-0,1 vs. + 0,3, p=0,03), perfusion index (-12 vs. +12%, p=0,008), total vessel density (-0,2 vs. +2,3 mm2/mm2, p=0,002), showed significant opposite variations with bolus and continuous infusion, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: These results on macro and microcirculation enlighten the potential benefits of a continuous infusion of norepinephrine rather than a bolus to treat anaesthesia-induced hypotension.

BACKGROUND: Awake surgery has become a key treatment of diffuse low-grade gliomas (DLGG) and is divided in three main phases: opening, tumor resection - during which the patient needs to be fully awake - and closure. The anesthetic management of awake neurosurgery is a challenge, and there are currently no guidelines. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the survey was to explore differences and commonalities regarding the anesthetic management of awake DLGG surgery within the European Low-Grade Glioma Network (ELGGN) centers. METHODS: A form that contained 14 questions about the anesthetic management was sent to 28 centers in May 2015. RESULTS: Twenty centers responded. During the opening and closing non-awake periods, 56% of teams chose general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation for at least one period (asleep-awake-asleep, SAS protocol), and 44% monitored anesthesia care including sedation without mechanical ventilation (MAC protocol). In case of SAS, all the teams chose intravenous anesthesia, 82% used laryngeal mask instead of endotracheal intubation during the opening sequence, and 71% during closure. Local and regional anesthesia was practiced by all the teams. The most frequently reported cause of pain was dural and cerebral vessels manipulation (77%). Pain management was mostly based on paracetamol (70%) and remifentanil (55%). CONCLUSION: Our survey showed that there was an equivalent proportion of centers using SAS or MAC protocols in the anesthetic management of awake surgery in ELGGN centers. The advantages and disadvantages of each anesthesia protocol were reviewed.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to characterize the sensory responses observed when electrically stimulating the white matter surrounding the posterior insula and medial operculum (PIMO). We reviewed patients operated on under awake conditions for a glioma located in the temporoparietal junction. Patients' perceptions were retrieved from operative reports. Stimulation points were registered in the Montreal Neurological Institute template. A total of 12 stimulation points in 8 patients were analyzed. Painful sensations in the contralateral leg were reported (5 sites in 5 patients) when stimulating the white matter close to the parcel OP2/3 of the Glasser atlas. Pain had diverse qualities: burning, tingling, crushing, or electric shock. More laterally, in the white matter of OP1, pain and heat sensations in the upper part of the body were described (5 sites in 2 patients). Intermingled with these sites, vibration sensations were also reported (3 sites in 2 patients). Based on the tractograms of 44 subjects from the Human Connectome Project data set, we built a template of the pathways linking the thalamus to OP2/3 and OP1. Pain sites were located in the thalamo-OP2/3 and thalamo-OP1 tracts. Heat sites were located in the thalamo-OP1 tract. In the 227 awake surgeries performed for a tumor located outside of the PIMO region, no patients ever reported pain or heat sensations when stimulating the white matter. Thus, we propose that the thalamo-PIMO connections constitute the main cortical inputs for nociception and thermoception and emphasize that preserving these fibers is of utmost importance to prevent the postoperative onset of a debilitating insulo-opercular pain syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Perioperative renal and myocardial protection primarily depends on preoperative prediction tools, along with intraoperative optimization of cardiac output (CO) and mean arterial pressure (MAP). We hypothesise that monitoring the intraoperative global afterload angle (GALA), a proxy of ventricular afterload derived from the velocity pressure (VP) loop, could better predict changes in postoperative biomarkers than the recommended traditional MAP and CO. METHOD: This retrospective monocentric study included patients programmed for neurosurgery with continuous VP loop monitoring. Patients with hemodynamic instability were excluded. Those presenting a 1-day post-surgery increase in creatinine, B-type natriuretic peptide, or troponin Ic us were labelled Bio+, Bio- otherwise. Demographics, intra-operative data and comorbidities were considered as covariates. The study aimed to determine if intraoperative GALA monitoring could predict early postoperative biomarker disruption. RESULT: From November 2018 to November 2020, 86 patients were analysed (Bio+/Bio- = 47/39). Bio + patients were significantly older (62[54-69] versus 42[34-57] years, p < 0.0001), More often hypertensive (25% vs. 9%, p = 0.009), and more frequently treated with antihypertensive drugs (31.9% vs. 7.7%, p = 0.013). GALA was significantly larger in Bio+ patients (40[31-56] vs. 23[19-29] °, p < 0.0001), while CO, MAP, and cumulative time spent <65mmHg were similar between groups. GALA exhibited strong predictive performances for postoperative biological deterioration (AUC=0.88[0.80-0.95]), significantly outperforming MAP (MAP AUC=0.55[0.43-0.68], p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: GALA under general anaesthesia prove more effective in detecting patients at risk of early cardiac or renal biological deterioration, compared to classical hemodynamic parameters.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Global afterload angle (GALA) is a parameter derived from velocity-pressure loop (VP Loop), for continuous assessment of cardiac afterload in the operating room. It has been validated with invasive measure of central pressure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of noninvasive VP Loop obtained with central pressure measured with two different noninvasive tonometers. METHODS: A prospective, observational, monocentric study was conducted in 51 patients under general anesthesia. Invasive central pressure (cPINV) was measured with a fulfilled intravascular catheter, and noninvasive central pressure signals were obtained with two applanation tonometry devices: radial artery tonometry (cPSHYG: Sphygmocor tonometer) and carotid tonometry (cPCOMP: Complior tonometer). Three VP Loops were built: VP LoopINV, VP LoopSPHYG and VP LoopCOMP. Patients were separated according to cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS: In the 51 patients under general anesthesia, cPSHYG was adequately obtained in 48 patients (89%) but, compared to cPINV, SBP was underestimated (-4 ± 6 mmHg, P < 0.0001), augmentation index (AIXSPHYG) and a GALASPHYG were overestimated (+13 ± 19%, P = 0.0077 and +4 ± 8°, P = 0.0024, respectively) with large limit of agreement (LOA) (-21 to 47% and -13 to 21° for AIXSPHYG and GALASPHYG, respectively). With the Complior, the failure rate of measurement for cPCOMP was 41%. SBP was similar (3 ± 17 mmHg, P = 0.32), AIXCOMP was underestimated (-11 ± 19%, P = 0.0046) and GALACOMP was similar but with large LOA (-50 to 26% and -20 to 18° for AIXCOMP and GALACOMP, respectively). CONCLUSION: In anesthetized patient, the reliability of noninvasive central pressure monitoring by tonometry seems too limited to monitor cardiac afterload with VP Loop.

Background: Although cognitive decline (CD) is associated with increased post-operative morbidity and mortality, routinely screening patients remains difficult. The main objective of this prospective study is to use the EEG response to a Propofol-based general anesthesia (GA) to reveal CD. Methods: 42 patients with collected EEG and Propofol target concentration infusion (TCI) during GA had a preoperative cognitive assessment using MoCA. We evaluated the performance of three variables to detect CD (MoCA < 25 points): age, Propofol requirement to induce unconsciousness (TCI at SEF95: 8-13 Hz) and the frontal alpha band power (AP at SEF95: 8-13 Hz). Results: The 17 patients (40%) with CD were significantly older (p < 0.001), had lower TCI (p < 0.001), and AP (p < 0.001). We found using logistic models that TCI and AP were the best set of variables associated with CD (AUC: 0.89) and performed better than age (p < 0.05). Propofol TCI had a greater impact on CD probability compared to AP, although both were complementary in detecting CD. Conclusion: TCI and AP contribute additively to reveal patient with preoperative cognitive decline. Further research on post-operative cognitive trajectory are necessary to confirm the interest of intra operative variables in addition or as a substitute to cognitive evaluation.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Under General Anesthesia (GA), age and Burst Suppression (BS) are associated with cognitive postoperative complications, yet how these parameters are related to per-operative EEG and hypnotic doses is unclear. In this prospective study, we address this question comparing age and BS occurrences with a new score (BPTIVA) based on Propofol doses, EEG and alpha-band power spectral densities, evaluated for SEF95â¯=â¯8-13â¯Hz. METHODS: 59 patients (55 [34-67] yr, 67% female) undergoing neuroradiology or orthopedic surgery were included. Total IntraVenous Anesthesia was used for Propofol and analgesics infusion. Cerebral activity was monitored from a frontal electrodes montage EEG. RESULTS: BPTIVA was inversely correlated with age (Pearson râ¯=â¯-0.78, pâ¯<â¯0.001), and was significantly lower (pâ¯<â¯0.001) when BS occurred during the GA first minutes (induction). Additionally, the age-free BPTIVA score was better associated with BS at induction than age (AUCâ¯=â¯0.94 versus 0.82, pâ¯<â¯0.05). CONCLUSION: We designed BPTIVA score based on hypnotics and EEG. It was correlated with age yet was better associated to BS occurring during GA induction, the latter being a cerebral fragility sign. SIGNIFICANCE: This advocate for an approach based on evaluating the cerebral physiological age («brain age¼) to predict postoperative cognitive evolution.

BACKGROUND: Impact of early systemic hemodynamic alterations and fluid resuscitation on outcome in the modern burn care remains controversial. We investigate the association between acute-phase systemic hemodynamics, timing of fluid resuscitation and outcome in critically ill burn patients. METHODS: Retrospective, single-center cohort study was conducted in a university hospital. Forty critically ill burn patients with total body surface area (TBSA) burn-injured >20 % with invasive blood pressure and cardiac output monitoring (transpulmonary thermodilution technique) within 8 h from trauma were included. We retrospectively examined hemodynamic variables during the first 24 h following admission, and their association with 90-day mortality. RESULTS: The median (interquartile range 25th-75th percentile) TBSA, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) and Abbreviated Burn Severity Index of the study population were 41 (29-56), 31 (23-50) and 9 (7-11) %, respectively. 90-Day mortality was 42 %. There was no statistical difference between the median pre-hospital and 24-h administered fluid volume in survivors and non-survivors. On admission, stroke volume (SV), cardiac index (CI), oxygen delivery index and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were significantly lower in patients who died despite similar fluid resuscitation volume. ROC curves comparing the ability of initial SV, CI, MAP and lactate to discriminate 90-day mortality gave areas under curves of, respectively, 0.89 (CI 0.77-1), 0.77 (CI 0.58-0.95), 0.73 (CI 0.53-0.93) and 0.78 (CI 0.63-0.92); (p value <0.05 for all). In multivariate analysis, SAPS II and initial SV were independently associated with 90-day mortality (best cutoff value for SV was 27 mL, sensitivity 92 %, specificity 69 %). During 24 h, no interaction was found between time and outcome regarding macrocirculatory parameters changes. Hemodynamic parameters improved during the first 24-h resuscitation in all patients but patients who died had lower SV and CI on admission, which remained through the first 24 h. CONCLUSION: Low initial SV and CI were associated with poor outcome in critically ill burn patients. Very early hemodynamic monitoring may in help detecting under-resuscitated patients. Future prospective interventional studies should explore the impact of early goal-directed therapy in these specific patients.
