Filter by:Determination of high intracranial pressure (ICP) is necessary for the treatment of patients with raised ICP to improve long-term neurological outcomes. Ultrasonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement is a noninvasive, easily performed and cost effective technique for detecting high ICP.
The Lloyd Davies position is a position used in laparoscopic hysterectomies where the head is lowered 45 degrees and the legs are bent from the knee area.It is a version of the Trendelenburg position. Both this position and for laparoscopic surgery carbon dioxide (CO2) gas given into the abdomen, causes problems for the patient. Increased abdominal and thoracic pressure impairs venous return and increases intracranial pressure. Optic nerve sheath diameter can be measured by placing an ultrasound probe over the eye. It is possible to follow up the increase in intracranial pressure with this diameter measurement. In this study, it was planned to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter by ultrasound in patients who will undergo laparoscopic hysterectomy. It is aimed to observe the changes in the increase in intracranial pressure as the time lengthens with the measurements to be made at certain intervals during the operation. Secondary aim is to determine whether there is a cut-off value where the intracranial pressure starts to increase.
We aim to acquire data using DCS on patients who are undergoing invasive ICP and ABP monitoring on ITU as part of their normal treatment. Data will then be correlated to derive various parameters including CBF and BFI. All interventions are entirely non-invasive.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the regularly performed laparoscopic surgical procedures. It resulted in shorter hospital stays, improved cosmetic outcomes, and reduced bleeding and pain. However, during laparoscopic surgeries, the pneumoperitoneum is known to raise intracranial pressure (ICP), reduction in cerebral blood flow (CBF), and as a consequence, cerebral hypoxia. There are various possible advantages of low-flow anesthesia. During laparoscopic procedures, low-flow anesthesia may be used as a means of preventing a rise in intracranial pressure and cerebral hypoxia. But low flow anesthesia effects on İCP are not known in Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The primary aim of this study is to compare the effects of low-flow (0.75 l/min) and normal-flow (1.5 l/min) anesthesia on ONSD in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Seconder aims are regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2), bispectral index (BIS), and evaluate the status of cognitive function in the postoperative 24th hours.
When the literature is examined, it has been reported in many studies that intracranial pressure increases due to laparoscopic procedures performed in the intraperitoneal area. The mechanism of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) associated with insufflation is most likely due to impaired venous drainage of the lumbar venous plexus at increased intra-abdominal pressure. Changes in ICP can be monitored by ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), which is a generally accepted simple, reliable and non-invasive ICP measurement technique. In meta-analyses conducted on this subject, it has been revealed that ICP elevation during laparoscopy can be observed with a significant increase in ONSD in the early (0 30 minutes) and late (30-120 minutes) periods during carbondioxid (CO2) pneumoperitoneum. However, the effect of laparoscopic procedures performed in the extraperitoneal area on the central nervous system is not clear. There is not found any study in the literature comparing laparoscopic procedures, especially performed extraperitoneally and transperitoneally, and their effects on intracranial pressure. The aim of the study compare to laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed in the transperitoneal area and (totally extra-peritoneal) TEP inguinal hernia repair performed in the extraperitoneal area in terms of intracranial pressure relationship.
Researchers have developed a probe that contains infrared light sources that can illuminate the deep brain tissue of the frontal lobe. Photodetectors in the probe detect the backscattered light, which is modulated by pulsation of the cerebral arteries. Changes in the extramural arterial pressure affect the morphology of the recorded optical pulse, so analysis of the acquired signal using an appropriate algorithm could enable the calculation of the intracranial pressure noninvasively (nICP), which would be displayed to clinicians continuously. This pilot study is the first evaluation of the device in patients in who the gold standard comparator of invasive ICP was available. The acquisition of pulsatile optical signals was performed for up to 48 hours in each of the 40 patients who were undergoing invasive ICP monitoring as part of their normal medical treatment. Features of the optical signals would be analysed offline. A machine vector support algorithm would be implemented, with the aim of estimating ICP noninvasively and compared to the gold standard of synchronously acquired invasive ICP data.
Direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation are associated with increases in intraocular pressure (IOP), intracranial pressure (ICP), heart rate (HR), and blood pressure. The use of supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are known to be beneficial in overcoming the disadvantages of laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation, especially ocular and pressure stress responses. In recent years, it has been reported that ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) can be used in the diagnosis of increased ICP. The aim of our study is to compare the effects of Proseal laryngeal mask airway (pLMA), Suprem laryngeal mask airway (sLMA) and I-gel on hemodynamic response and ONSD during insertion in adult patients.
Prospective study, 40 patients ASA 2-3, 30-75 years old who were planned for laparoscopic hysterectomy operation will be included.One day before the operation and postoperative 1.3.7. A mini mental assessment test will be performed on these days.Standard monitoring and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy monitoring to measure cerebral oxygen saturation will be performed on the patients.NIRS sensors will be placed on the right and left sides of the forehead, 2 cm above the eyebrow, before induction of anesthesia. Before the induction of anesthesia, the measurement will begin and the FiO2 (fraction of inspiration oxygen) will be kept at 60%.General anesthesia induction will be made with propofol 2mg/kg, remifentanil 0.5 µg/kg and rocuronium 0.6mg/kg, and maintenance will be provided with 2% sevoflurane.The patient will be intubated and ventilation support will be provided so that the tidal volume is 6-8 ml/kg and the end tidal CO2 is 30-40 mmHg. PEEP (Positive end expiratory pressure) will not be applied to any patient. Intra-abdominal pressure will be maintained at 15 mmHg. All patients will be given 1gr paracetamol and 100mg tramadol for postoperative analgesia.During the measurement of optic nerve diameter, a layer of sterile water-soluble gel will be applied on the closed eyelid with a linear 10-5 MHz ultrasound probe. In our study, ONSDs of all patients will be measured by the same experienced anesthetist. Measurements will be made at 5 different times. 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia in the supine position (T0), 5 minutes after the onset of pneumoperitoneum (T1), 5 minutes after the upright trendelenburg position (T2), at the 2nd hour of the trendelenburg position (T3) and 5 minutes after returning to the supine position at the end of the surgery (T4) .ONSD measurements of the patients measured at 5 different times, peroperative NIRS values, peroperative SpO2, mean blood pressure, peak heart rate, anesthesia time, surgery time, time to stay in the trendelenburg position, partial oxygen saturation (PaO2), PCO2, end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) and peak airway pressure (pPEAK) will be recorded.
Caudal epidural block has been a widely used regional anesthesia method, especially in pediatric surgery, to provide intraoperative and postoperative analgesia. Studies on non-invasive methods used for intracranial pressure measurement have shown that optic nerve sheath diameter is related to intracranial pressure. Optic nerve sheath diameter measurement has high diagnostic accuracy for detecting increased intracranial pressure in children. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of the caudal block on optic nerve sheath diameter in pediatric patients.
Rheoencephalography (REG) shows promise as a method for noninvasive neuromonitoring, because it reflects cerebrovascular reactivity. This protocol will study clinical and technical conditions required to use REG. Additionally, our goal is to study noninvasive peripheral bioimpedance pulse waveforms in order to substitute invasive SAP. A previous study demonstrated that REG can be used to detect spreading depolarization (SD), the early sign of brain metabolic disturbance. SD can be measured invasively with DC EEG amplifiers only. Our goal is to create an automatic notification function for REG monitoring indicating change of clinical conditions.
