Filter by: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.
Background: Although placement of an intra-cerebral catheter remains the gold standard method for measuring intracranial pressure (ICP), there are several limitations to the method. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to compare the correlation and the agreement of the wave morphology between the ICP (standard ICP monitoring) and a new nICP monitor in patients admitted with stroke. Our secondary objective was to estimate the accuracy of four non-invasive methods to assess intracranial hypertension. Methods: We prospectively collected data of adults admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or ischemic stroke (IS) in whom invasive ICP monitoring placed. Measures had been simultaneously collected from the following non-invasive indices: optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), pulsatility index (PI) using transcranial Doppler (TCD), a 5-point visual scale designed for Computed Tomography (CT) and two parameters (time-to-peak [TTP] and P2/P1 ratio) of a non-invasive ICP wave morphology monitor (Brain4care[B4c]). Intracranial hypertension was defined as an invasively measured ICP > 20 mmHg for at least five minutes.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (HTICi) is a pathology, affecting young adults with a predominance of women, due to an increase in intracranial pressure, which may be associated with stenosis of the cerebral venous sinuses and whose origin remains unknown. This hypertension can lead to papillary edema (OP) which can lead to a narrowing of the visual field and progress to blindness. Along with weight reduction, acetazolamide, which reduces the production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), is prescribed as a first-line treatment. Its efficacy is inconsistent in resolving papillary edema and there are many side effects. In the event of ineffectiveness or dependence on acetazolamide associated with hygiene and dietetic rules, a second line of therapy is then considered: neurosurgical (internal shunt of the LCS) or endovascular (venous stenting) treatment. These invasive techniques have each proven their effectiveness in the rapid and permanent resorption of OP, allowing improvement or preservation of visual function. In terms of induced morbidity, the superiority of one technique over the other, if it exists, has not been established. Our objective is to compare the efficacy, safety, and safety of LCS bypass surgery versus venous sinus stenting in HTICi with moderate to severe visual impairment after failure of medical treatment defined by the absence of resorption of the OP after several months
Invasive intracranial pressure monitoring takes on essential importance in patients with traumatic brain injury and in all cerebral pathologies in which intracranial hypertension is the main cause of death. Prolonged Intracranial Hypertension has been related to poor outcome and its occurrence has therefore to be assessed as soon as possible. Invasive intracranial pressure monitoring performed by placing an intracerebral catheter is currently the gold standard technique for continuous ICP invasive monitoring. This maneuver has usually been performed by neurosurgeons, but recently this procedure has more often been carried out by intensivists, at the bedside. Management of intracranial pressure handling and treatment is currently achieved by joint decisions between neurosurgeons and intensive care physicians, but differences in logistic matters and in the executive availability could impact on the dose of intracranial pressure to which patient is exposed. The aim of this study is to compare timing of invasive intracranial pressure monitoring placement performed by intensive care physicians and neurosurgeons and to detect possible differences in the incidence of complications between the two groups.
This study aims to adopt a multi-center large sample size study to define (1) the normal range of Chinese ONSD; (2) ONSD diagnosis for patients with high intracranial pressure; (3) to analyze the correlation between ONSD and intracranial pressure.
Fluid challenge is frequently used in fluid management of critically ill patients. Assessing whether there is a preload reserve that can be used to increase the stroke volume by delivering a small amount of fluid in a short period of time. Optimization of fluid therapy is very important in intensive care patients. Inappropriate fluid therapy can cause significant morbidity and even mortality. Increased intracranial pressure is one of these important complications. In the present study, we planned to evaluate the effect of a fluid challenge on intracranial pressure by measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD).
The aim of the study to investigate the effect of tourniquet application on optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and cerebral oxygenation during lower extremity surgery.
