Abstract
Background
Malignant ischemic stroke (MIS) is a life-threatening emergency requiring decompressive craniectomy (DC). Regional cerebral oxygenation (rScO2) may provide valuable insights during the perioperative period of MIS. Primary objective of this study was to observe the correlation between baseline bilateral rScO2 (ipsilateral side (rScO2I) and contralateral side (rScO2C) with severity of the stroke assessed by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (NIHSS) and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and with discharge and 30 days functional outcome. Secondary objectives were to study the effect of DC on bilateral rScO2 changes and its correlation with the outcome.
Methods
This prospective observational study was conducted over a period of one year, and included adult patients of MIS requiring DC. NIHSS and GCS were assessed at admission, before and immediately after surgery. In operation theatre, baseline, during induction and at the end of the surgery, bifrontal rScO2 were recorded. Patient’s outcome was assessed using Glasgow outcome scale extended (GOSE) and modified Rankin Score (mRS) at discharge and 30 days. Data analysed using R version 4.3.2.
Results
A total of 35 patients were recruited. Baseline rScO2I values, but not the rScO2C, significantly correlated with admission GCS (r = 0.457, p = 0.007), and preoperative NIHSS (r = -0.384, p = 0.025). Baseline rScO2 did not correlate with the outcome. Following DC, significant improvement was observed in rScO2I (p = 0.03) and rScO2C (p = 0.02) with changes in rScO2C, but not rScO2I, showed a strong positive correlation with discharge GOSE (r = 0.734, p = 0.000) and 30-day GOSE (r = 0.455, p = 0.02), and a negative correlation with discharge (r = -0.641, p = 0.000) and 30-day mRS (r = -0.485, p = 0.01).
Conclusion
Non-invasive cerebral oxygenation correlates with the severity of stroke, helps to monitor the changes following DC and also to predict the short-term functional outcome, suggesting its utility during the perioperative course in MIS patients.
期刊介绍:
This International journal, Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, publishes articles on clinical neurosurgery and neurology and the related neurosciences such as neuro-pathology, neuro-radiology, neuro-ophthalmology and neuro-physiology.
The journal has a broad International perspective, and emphasises the advances occurring in Asia, the Pacific Rim region, Europe and North America. The Journal acts as a focus for publication of major clinical and laboratory research, as well as publishing solicited manuscripts on specific subjects from experts, case reports and other information of interest to clinicians working in the clinical neurosciences.
