Effect of decompressive craniectomy on bispectral index and memory.
Editor—We report a case in which after a brain injury, a patient with a Glasgow coma scale (GCS) of 14 had an unexpectedly low bispectral index (BIS) of 55. This increased after an emergency decompressive craniectomy. A 29-yr-old, previously well, female developed sudden onset headache with vomiting and weakness. CT scans demonstrated a right frontal lobe intracerebral haemorrhage secondary to ...
متن کاملDecompressive Craniectomy.
Decompressive Craniectomy (DC) is used to treat elevated intracranial pressure that is unresponsive to conventional treatment modalities. The underlying cause of intracranial hypertension may vary and consequently there is a broad range of literature on the uses of this procedure. Traumatic brain injury (TBI), middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction, and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)...
متن کامل[Does decompressive craniectomy improve other parameters besides ICP? Effects of the decompressive craniectomy on tissular pressure?].
Second level therapeutic maneuvres for controlling intracranial hypertension (ICH) proposed by the European Brain Injury Consortium and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons include barbiturates, moderate hypothermia and more recently the decompressive craniectomy (DC).In most patients, ICP can be maintained below 25 mmHg after a DC. However, the exact effect of DC on brain oxygenat...
متن کاملDecompressive Craniectomy in Traumatic Brain Injury:Factors Influencing Prognosis and Outcome
Background and Aim: Decompressive craniectomy can be life-saving for patients with severe traumatic brain injury, but many questions about its ideal application, indications, timing, technique, and even the definition of success of decompressive craniectomy remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with prognosis and outcome of patients with traumatic brain inj...
متن کاملA Faster and Wider Skin Incision Technique for Decompressive Craniectomy: n-Shaped Incision for Decompressive Craniectomy
OBJECTIVE Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a useful surgical method to achieve adequate decompression in hypertensive intracranial patients. This study suggested a new skin incision for DC, and analyzed its efficacy and safety. METHODS In the retrograde reviews, 15 patients underwent a newly suggested surgical approach using n-shape skin incision technique (Group A) and 23 patients were trea...
