RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the diagnostic yield and the incidence of perioperative complications in patients undergoing an open or closed cerebral biopsy and to determine the length of intensive care monitoring, for early diagnosis and fast management of perioperative complications. MATERIAL AND METHOD: This was a retrospective analysis of all the patients that underwent brain biopsy between January 2006 and July 2012. We recorded demographic data, comorbidities, modality of biopsy, intraoperative clinical data, histological results, computed tomography scanning findings and occurrence, and type of perioperative complications and moment of appearance. RESULTS: Seventy-six brain biopsies in 75 consecutive patients (51 closed and 25 open) were analysed. Diagnostic yield was 98% for closed biopsies and 96% for open biopsies. Mortality related to the procedures was 3.9 and 4%, respectively. The incidence of major complications was 3.9% for closed biopsies and 8% for open biopsies; half of these appeared within the first 24 postoperative hours, during patient stay in the Intensive Care Unit. Age was the only risk factor for complications (P=.04) in our study. No differences in morbimortality were found between the studied groups. CONCLUSIONS: Diagnostic yield was very high in our series. Because the importance of early diagnosis of complications for preventing long-term sequelae, we recommend overnight hospital stay for observation after open or closed brain biopsy.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Early detection of venous air embolism (VAE) during neurosurgical procedures in sitting position decreases the severity of its complications. OBJECTIVES: our aim was to analyse the detection of VAE and its impact on patients operated in a sitting position, verify air aspiration through a central venous catheter and assess the feasibility of the routine use of transcranial Doppler (TCD) for intraoperative diagnosis of patent foramen ovale (PFO). MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed a prospective study of consecutive neurosurgical procedures performed in the sitting position for 5 years. Precordial Doppler and end-tidal carbon dioxide were the diagnostic methods for VAE. PFO was explored by TCD after anaesthetic induction. RESULTS: 136 patients were operated in the sitting position, 93 craniotomies and 43 cervical spine procedures. Twenty-two patients (16.2%) were diagnosed with VAE (21.5% of craniotomies and 4.7% of spinal surgeries; p=.013). In 59% of cases, air was aspirated through the central venous catheter. There was haemodynamic involvement in 3 patients, impaired oxygenation in 4 and clinically relevant pneumocephalus in 5 of them. Two patients (1.4%) were diagnosed with PFO, but did not present episodes of VAE or paradoxical air embolism. CONCLUSIONS: The series analysed confirmed a higher incidence of VAE in craniotomies than in cervical spine surgery in a sitting position. We were able to aspirate air through the central venous catheter in more than half the cases. No patients suffered critical intraoperative complications following our approach. The low incidence of PFO detected with TCD will imply a modification of our protocol performed on anaesthetised patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this observational study was to determine whether bilateral bispectral index (BIS) monitoring can detect seizures in epileptic patients. METHODS: Four-channel frontal BIS monitoring and standard 40-channel electroencephalography monitoring were conducted in epileptic patients undergoing evaluation for epilepsy surgery. The BIS numerical value, signal quality index, electromyography, suppression ratio, and color density spectral array were continuously recorded. In patients with electroencephalography-confirmed seizures, the mean value and trend (slope of linear regression) of bilateral BIS monitor parameters were analyzed from 1 minute before to 1 minute after seizure onset. RESULTS: Of 48 patients included in the study, 21 (43.8%) had at least 1 seizure. BIS numerical value was not able to detect focal or focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures. Considering all seizures, the only significant differences between recordings 1 minute before and 1 minute after seizure onset were a decrease in the signal quality index slope from 1 hemisphere (0.039±0.297 vs. -0.085±0.321, respectively; P =0.029) and in the mean signal quality index recorded from both hemispheres (left hemisphere: 65.775±30.599 vs. 61.032±26.285; P =0.016 and right hemisphere: 63.244±31.985 vs. 59.837±27.360; 0.029); these differences were not maintained after Hochberg adjustment for multiple comparisons. In seizures occurring during sleep, there was a change in the electromyography slope of 1 hemisphere before and after seizure onset (-0.141±0.176 vs. 0.162±0.140, respectively; P =0.038). There were variable responses in BIS parameters in the 3 patients who developed focal nonconvulsive seizure clusters. CONCLUSION: Bilateral BIS monitoring was not able to detect the occurrence of seizures in epileptic patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Extubation and emergence from anesthesia may lead to systemic and cerebral hemodynamic changes that endanger neurosurgical patients. We aimed to compare systemic and cerebral hemodynamic variables and cough incidence in neurosurgery patients emerging from general anesthesia with the standard procedure (endotracheal tube [ETT] extubation) or after replacement of the ETT with a laryngeal mask airway (LMA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-two patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy under general anesthesia were included in a randomized open-label parallel trial. Patients were randomized (sealed envelopes labeled with software-generated randomized numbers) to awaken with the ETT in place or after its replacement with a ProSeal LMA. We recorded mean arterial pressure as the primary endpoint and heart rate, middle cerebral artery flow velocity, regional cerebral oxygen saturation, norepinephrine plasma concentrations, and coughing. RESULTS: No differences were found between groups at baseline. All hemodynamic variables increased significantly from baseline in both groups during emergence. The ETT group had significantly higher mean arterial pressure (11.9 mm Hg; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.1-21.8 mm Hg) (P=0.017), heart rate (7.2 beats/min; 95% CI, 0.7-13.7 beats/min) (P=0.03), and rate-pressure product (1045.4; 95% CI, 440.8-1650) (P=0.001). Antihypertensive medication was administered to more ETT-group patients than LMA-group patients (9 [42.9%] vs. 3 [14.3%] patients, respectively; P=0.04). The percent increase in regional cerebral oxygen saturation was greater in the ETT group by 26.1% (95% CI, 9.1%-43.2%) (P=0.002), but no between-group differences were found in MCA flow velocity. Norepinephrine plasma concentrations rose in both groups between baseline and the end of emergence: LMA: from 87.5±7.1 to 125.6±17.3 pg/mL; and ETT: from 118.1±14.1 to 158.1±24.7 pg/mL (P=0.007). The differences between groups were not significant. The incidence of cough was higher in the ETT group (87.5%) than in the LMA group (9.5%) (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Replacing the ETT with the LMA before neurosurgical patients emerge from anesthesia results in a more favorable hemodynamic profile, less cerebral hyperemia, and a lower incidence of cough.
