Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traumatic head injury (THI) poses a significant global public health burden, often contributing to mortality and disability. Intraoperative hypotension (IH) during emergency neurosurgery for THI can adversely affect perioperative outcomes, and understanding associated risk factors is essential for prevention. METHOD A multi-center observational study was conducted from February 10 to June 30, 2022. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Patient data were analyzed using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify significant factors associated with intraoperative hypotension (IH). Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were used to show the strength of association, and P value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. RESULT The incidence of intra-operative hypotension was 46.41% with 95%CI (39.2,53.6). The factors were duration of anesthesia ≥ 135 min with AOR: 4.25, 95% CI (1.004,17.98), severe GCS score with AOR: 7.23, 95% CI (1.098,47.67), intracranial hematoma size ≥ 15 mm with AOR: 7.69, 95% CI (1.18,50.05), and no pupillary abnormality with AOR: 0.061, 95% CI (0.005,0.732). CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: The incidence of intraoperative hypotension was considerably high. The duration of anesthesia, GCS score, hematoma size, and pupillary abnormalities were associated. The high incidence of IH underscores the need for careful preoperative neurological assessment, utilizing CT findings, vigilance for IH in patients at risk, and proactive management of IH during surgery. Further research should investigate specific mitigation strategies.

World Neurosurg 2022; 162:e652-e658. [PMID: 35358728 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2022.03.102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is an important therapy for treating intracranial pressure elevation following traumatic brain injury (TBI). During this procedure, about one-third of patients become complicated with intraoperative hypotension (IH), which is associated with abruptly decreasing sympathetic activity resulting from brain decompression. This study aimed to identify factors associated with IH during DC procedures and the mortality rate in these patients. METHODS The records of adult TBI patients aged 18 years and older who underwent DC at Songklanagarind Hospital between January 2014 and January 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Using logistic regression analysis, various factors were analyzed for their associations with IH during the DC procedures. RESULTS This study included 83 patients. The incidence of IH was 54%. Multivariate analysis showed that Glasgow Coma Scale motor response (GCS-M) 1-3 (vs. 4-6), higher preoperative heart rate (PHR), and larger amount of intraoperative blood loss were significantly associated with IH (P = 0.013, P < 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively). Patients with GCS-M 1-3 and PHR ≥ 75 bpm had the highest chance of IH (77%), while patients with neither of these risk factors had the lowest chance (29%). The in-hospital mortality rate in the IH and non-IH groups was 44% and 26%, respectively (P = 0.138). CONCLUSIONS GCS-M 1-3, higher PHR, and larger amount of intraoperative blood loss were the risk factors associated with IH during DC procedure in TBI patients. Patients who have these risk factors should be closely monitored and the attending physician be ready to apply prompt resuscitation and treatment for IH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary insults worsen outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, data on intraoperative secondary insults are sparse. The primary aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of intraoperative secondary insults during orthopedic surgery after moderate-severe TBI. We also examined the impact of intraoperative secondary insults on postoperative head computed tomographic scan, intracranial pressure (ICP), and escalation of care within 24 hours of surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed medical records of TBI patients 18 years and above with Glasgow Coma Scale score <13 who underwent single orthopedic surgery within 2 weeks of TBI. Secondary insults examined were: systemic hypotension (systolic blood pressure<90 mm Hg), intracranial hypertension (ICP>20 mm Hg), cerebral hypotension (cerebral perfusion pressure<50 mm Hg), hypercarbia (end-tidal CO2>40 mm Hg), hypocarbia (end-tidal CO2<30 mm Hg in absence of intracranial hypertension), hyperglycemia (glucose>200 mg/dL), hypoglycemia (glucose<60 mg/dL), and hyperthermia (temperature >38°C). RESULTS A total of 78 patients (41 [18 to 81] y, 68% male) met the inclusion criteria. The most common intraoperative secondary insults were systemic hypotension (60%), intracranial hypertension and cerebral hypotension (50% and 45%, respectively, in patients with ICP monitoring), hypercarbia (32%), and hypocarbia (29%). Intraoperative secondary insults were associated with worsening of head computed tomography, postoperative decrease of Glasgow Coma Scale score by ≥2, and escalation of care. After Bonferroni correction, association between cerebral hypotension and postoperative escalation of care remained significant (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative secondary insults were common during orthopedic surgery in patients with TBI and were associated with postoperative escalation of care. Strategies to minimize intraoperative secondary insults are needed.

Abstract
Purpose Coagulation disorder and intraoperative hypotension are representative complications of traumatic brain injury which cause worse perioperative outcome. The aim of this study was to survey the relation of coagulation disorder and intraoperative hypotension (IH) during decompressive craniectomy. Method Patients who underwent emergency decompressive craniectomy due to traumatic brain injury were retrospectively surveyed. The relation between preoperative coagulation date and intraoperative hypotension (systolic blood pressure < 60 mmHg after dural opening) was analyzed. Results Of 41 patients screened, 12 patients (27.9%) developed IH. Fibrinogen degradation products (314 vs 64.4 μg/mL; p = 0.01) were significantly higher in the IH group. In contrast, fibrinogen (181 vs 239 mg/dL; p = 0.01) was significantly lower in the IH group. Reduction rate of sBRP before and after dural opening (%) was higher in IH group than in non-IH group (49.1 vs 27.6%: p = 0.001). Conclusions Preoperative elevated FDP may predict IH after dural opening during traumatic decompressive craniectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypotension after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with poor outcomes. However, data on intraoperative hypotension (IH) are scarce and the effect of anesthetic agents on IH is unknown. We examined the prevalence and risk factors for IH, including the effect of anesthetic agents during emergent craniotomy for isolated TBI. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of patients 18 years and above, who underwent emergent craniotomy for TBI at Harborview Medical Center (level 1 trauma center) between October 2007 and January 2010. Demographic, clinical, and radiographic characteristics and hemodynamic and anesthetic data were abstracted from medical and electronic anesthesia records. Hypotension was defined as systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg. Univariate analyses were performed to compare the clinical characteristics of patients with and without IH, and multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent risk factors for IH. RESULTS Data abstracted from 113 eligible patients aged 48±19 years were analyzed. IH was common (n=73, 65%) but not affected by the choice of anesthetic agent. Independent risk factors for IH were multiple computed tomographic (CT) lesions [adjusted odds ratios (AOR) 19.1; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.08-175.99; P=0.009], subdural hematoma (AOR 17.9; 95% CI, 2.97-108.10; P=0.002), maximum CT lesion thickness (AOR 1.1; 95% CI, 1.01-1.13; P=0.016), and anesthesia duration (AOR 1.1; 95% CI, 1.01-1.30; P=0.009). CONCLUSIONS IH was common in adult patients with isolated TBI undergoing emergent craniotomy. The presence of multiple CT lesions, subdural hematoma, maximum thickness of CT lesion, and longer duration of anesthesia increase the risk for IH.

Abstract
We conducted a retrospective cohort study in children <13 yr with traumatic brain injury (TBI) at a Level 1 pediatric trauma center to describe risk factors for intraoperative hypotension (IH) during emergent decompressive craniotomy. Between 1994 and 2004, 108 children underwent emergent decompressive craniotomy for TBI. Overall, 56 (52%) patients had IH. Independent risk factors for IH were each 10 mL estimated blood loss/kg (ARR 1.15 95% CI 1.08-1.22), each mm of computed tomography (CT) midline shift (ARR 1.04 95%CI 1.01-1.07), each 10 mL of CT lesion volume (ARR 1.03 95%CI 1.01-1.05), and emergency department (ED) hypotension (5/5 patients with ED hypotension had IH). CT midline shift > or =4 mm predicted IH (ARR 1.67 95% CI 1.06-2.63), independent of blood loss. IH occurred frequently during emergent decompressive craniotomy in children with TBI. ED hypotension, blood loss, CT lesion volume, and CT midline shift predicted IH. Anesthesiologists can expect children with preoperative CT midline shift > or =4 mm to have IH during this procedure.

Abstract
Transcranial Doppler and, if possible, measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) allow preoperative diagnosis of acute intracranial hypertension (ICH) after brain trauma. The main goal of the anaesthesiologist is to prevent the occurrence of secondary brain injuries and to avoid cerebral ischaemia. Treatment of high ICP is mainly achieved with osmotherapy. High-dose mannitol administration (1.4 to 2 g/kg given in bolus doses) may be considered a better option than conventional doses, especially before emergency evacuation of a cerebral mass lesion. Hypertonic saline seems as effective as mannitol without rebound effect and without diuresis increase. Haemostasis should be normalized before neurosurgery and invasive blood pressure monitoring is mandatory. For anaesthesia induction, thiopental or etomidate may be used. In case of ICH, halogenated and nitrous oxide should be avoided. Until the dura is open, mean arterial pressure should be maintained around 90 mmHg (or cerebral perfusion pressure around 70 mmHg). If a long-lasting (several hours) extracranial surgery is necessary, ICP should be monitored and treatment of ICH should have been instituted before.
