Abstract
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using an intraosseous (IO) needle for decompressive management of subacute and chronic subdural hematomas (SDHs).
Methods: This is a single-center retrospective review of subacute and chronic SDHs treated with IO needle decompression from May 2022 to November 2023. Technical success, recurrence, procedure-related complications, major adverse events, patient demographics, and procedural details were analyzed using standard statistical analysis.
Results: Fifty-one patients (mean age 75.4 [SD 11.4] years) met the inclusion criteria. Technical success was achieved in all patients, with only 1 case of recurrence. Rates of procedure-related complications (3/51, 5.9%) and major adverse events (2/51, 4%) were low. There were no statistically significant differences between those with subacute SDHs compared with those with chronic SDHs.
Conclusions: IO needle decompression is a feasible, safe, and effective option for management of subacute and chronic SDHs, with minimal recurrence.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, and Neurosurgical Focus are devoted to the publication of original works relating primarily to neurosurgery, including studies in clinical neurophysiology, organic neurology, ophthalmology, radiology, pathology, and molecular biology. The Editors and Editorial Boards encourage submission of clinical and laboratory studies. Other manuscripts accepted for review include technical notes on instruments or equipment that are innovative or useful to clinicians and researchers in the field of neuroscience; papers describing unusual cases; manuscripts on historical persons or events related to neurosurgery; and in Neurosurgical Focus, occasional reviews. Letters to the Editor commenting on articles recently published in the Journal of Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, and Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics are welcome.
