A Global Review of the Perioperative Care of Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Undergoing Microsurgical Repair of Ruptured Intracerebral Aneurysm

Résumé fourni par la source

INTRODUCTION: To describe the perioperative care of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) who undergo microsurgical repair of a ruptured intracerebral aneurysm. METHODS: An English language survey examined 138 areas of the perioperative care of patients with aSAH. Reported practices were categorized as those reported by <20%, 21% to 40%, 41% to 60%, 61% to 80%, and 81% to 100% of participating hospitals. Data were stratified by Worldbank country income level (high-income or low/middle-income). Variation between country-income groups and between countries was presented as an intracluster correlation coefficient (ICC) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS: Forty-eight hospitals representing 14 countries participated in the survey (response rate 64%); 33 (69%) hospitals admitted ≥60 aSAH patients per year. Clinical practices reported by 81 to 100% of the hospitals included placement of an arterial catheter, preinduction blood type/cross match, use of neuromuscular blockade during induction of general anesthesia, delivering 6 to 8 mL/kg tidal volume, and checking hemoglobin and electrolyte panels. Reported use of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring was 25% (41% in high-income and 10% in low/middle-income countries), with variation between Worldbank country-income group (ICC 0.15, 95% CI 0.02-2.76) and between countries (ICC 0.44, 95% CI 0.00-0.68). The use of induced hypothermia for neuroprotection was low (2%). Before aneurysm securement, variable in blood pressure targets was reported; systolic blood pressure 90 to 120 mm Hg (30%), 90 to 140 mm Hg (21%), and 90 to 160 mmHg (5%). Induced hypertension during temporary clipping was reported by 37% of hospitals (37% each in high and low/middle-income countries). CONCLUSIONS: This global survey identifies differences in reported practices during the perioperative management of patients with aSAH.
