Methods: The clinical data of a group of 136 severely brain-injured patients admitted to Shanghai Neurosurgical Emergency Center from December 2004 to February 2006 were studied. Results: The intraventricular ICP monitor was placed in all the 136 patients via Kocher's pathway, Paine's pathway or intraoperative opened ventricle. In this series, the probe was placed during the procedure of craniotomy in 98 patients; for other 38 patients, the probe was placed initially to measure or to monitor ICE A stepwise protocol targeting at ICP control (420 mm Hg) and optimal cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) maintenance (60-90 mm Hg) was deployed.Among them, 76 patients survived with good recovery, 14 with moderate disability, 24 with severe disability, 10 with vegetative state, and 12 died. Complications associated with intraventricular ICP monitoring included hemorrhage and infection. Hemorrhage occurred in 1 patient and infection in 5 patients. There were no unacceptable complications related to ICP monitoring. Conclusions: Ventricular access for 1CP monitoring can be safely and accurately achieved. ICP monitoring via ventriculostomy may facilitate an early and accurate intervention for severely brain-injured patients. The intraventricular ICP monitoring is a low-risk procedure and can yield great benefits for management of patients with severe TBI.展开更多

The surgical time and pattern, the type of fracture, preoperative comorbidities, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score and the volume of blood transfusion during operation were obtained from these patients who were followed up by telephone calls for postoperative complications.All the patients were followed up at least for 1 year and were divided into subgroups according to their clinical characteristics and the results were analyzed by the Statistical Analysis System software.Results:There was no significant difference in the morbidity of postoperative eomplications with the gender,age,surgical time and pattern,or ASA score. There was significant difference in the morbidity of postoperative complications related to preoperative comorbidities and the volume of blood transfusion. There was a significant causality between preoperative comorbidities and postoperative complications. The morbidity of postoperative complications was 1.651 times higher in patients with preoperative comorbidities than those without.Conclusions:There is no relationship between the surgical time and postoperative complications in senile patients who received surgery for hip fracture within 1 year.No correlation is found between the postoperative complications and gender,age,type of fracture, surgical pattern,ASA score and the volume of blood transfusion. Preoperative comorbidities are an independent predictor for postoperative complications.展开更多

Methods: A prospective study was conducted in pa- tients who received Codman ICP monitoring in the neuro- surgical department from January 2010 to December 2011. According to the location of sensors, the patients were ca- tegorized into two groups: intraventricular group and sub- dural group. Zero drift between the two groups and its as- sociation with the duration of ICP monitor were analyzed. Results: Totally, 22 patients undergoing intraven- tricular ICP monitoring and 27 receiving subdural ICP moni- toring were enrolled. There was no significant difference in duration of ICP monitoring, zero drift value and its absolute value between intraventricular and subdural groups (5.38 d± 2.58 d vs 4.58 d.±2.24 d, 0.77 mmHg±2.18 mmHg vs 1.03 mmHg±2.06mmHg, 1.68 mmHg~.l.55 mmHgvs 1.70mmHg.t_l.53 mmHg, respectively; all P〉0.05). Absolute value of zero drift in both groups significantly rose with the increased duration of ICP monitoring (P〈0.05) while zero drift value did not. Moreover, daily absolute value in the intraventricular group was sig- nificantly smaller than that in the subdural group (0.27 mm Hg_+ 0.32 mm Hg vs 0.29 mm Hg_-_*0.18 mm Hg, P〈0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that absolute value of zero drift significantly correlates with duration of both intraventricular and subdural ICP monitoring. Due to the smaller daily absolute value, ICP values recorded from intraventficular system may be more reliable than those from subdural system.展开更多
