چکیده

BACKGROUND Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is effective in reducing stroke risk in selected patient groups. The ideal anesthetic technique remains controversial in light of literature between general anesthesia (GA) and regional anesthesia (RA) for CEA. METHODS We studied the NSQIP data from 2005 to 2012. There were 32,718 patients receiving general anesthesia (GA) and 5,384 patients receiving regional anesthesia, local anesthesia, or monitored anesthesia care (RA). The outcome measurements of 30 days postoperative complications were death, stroke, coma, unplanned intubation, on ventilator > 48 hours, cardiac arrest, and myocardial infarction. We next studied NY-SID data from 2007 to 2011. There were 13,913 patients receiving GA and 3,145 patients receiving RA. The outcome measurements by discharge time were death, stroke, paraplegia, new neurological disorder, aspiration, respiratory failure, pulmonary resuscitation procedure (include intubation), cardiac arrest, cardiac resuscitation procedure, myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure. All analyses were risk adjusted with propensity score matching algorithm. RESULTS There were significant differences in incidences of un-expected intubation (1.21% vs. 0.55%, P=0.001), and myocardial infarction (0.80% vs. 0.35%, P=0.039) between GA and RA respectively in NSQIP data. GA group had significant higher incidences of aspiration (0.61% vs. 0.19%, P=0.014), and pulmonary resuscitation procedure (including intubation) (1.02% vs. 0.54%, P=0.044) than RA group in NY-SID data. CONCLUSIONS In comparison to GA, patients receiving RA had significant lower risks of postoperative unplanned intubation and/or pulmonary resuscitation procedure after carotid endarterectomy.

A comparison of regional and general anesthesia in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

PURPOSE The optimal anesthetic for use during carotid endarterectomy is controversial. Advocates of regional anesthesia suggest that it may reduce the incidence of perioperative complications in addition to decreasing operative time and hospital costs. To determine whether the anesthetic method correlated with the outcome of the operation, a retrospective review of 3975 carotid operations perfo...

Carotid endarterectomy: a comparison of regional versus general anesthesia in 500 operations.

The outcomes of 489 patients undergoing 500 carotid endarterectomies were reviewed to compare results from using general anesthesia with those from using regional (cervical block) anesthesia. From September 1982 to May 1998, 228 procedures (221 patients) were performed under general anesthesia and 272 procedures (268 patients) were performed under local anesthesia. A detailed comparison of the ...

HYPOTHESIS That alternative methods of cerebral protection, especially routine shunting of all patients undergoing general anesthesia or shunting on the basis of neurologic assessment with the patient awake under cervical plexus block, result in outcomes of carotid endarterectomy comparable with those reported using electroencephalographic monitoring.

Prevention of Intra-operative Cerebral Ischemia during Carotid Endarterectomy, Loco-regional versus General Anesthesia.

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA), as a prophylactic operation is becoming more popular. It is performed in patients who are at risk of stroke from dislodged atheromatous plaque at the carotid bifurcation. The major concern during CEA is the detection of cerebral hypoperfusion or ischemia during carotid cross clamping. Some studies have shown that the introduction of loco-regional anesthesia has low...
