Abstract:
Objective:To observe the clinical value of intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring combined with target temperature management (TTM) in patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke after mechanical thrombectomy.Methods:A prospective analysis was performed. Ninety-two patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke who received mechanical thrombectomy from March 2019 to June 2022 in Department of Neurosurgery, He'nan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled. Within 1-5 d of mechanical thrombectomy, these patients were randomly divided into observation group ( n=46) and control group ( n=46). The patients in observation group received comprehensive management for neurological critical illness through multimodal monitoring such as ICP real-time monitoring combined with TTM (controlling the core temperature at 33℃-35℃), while patients in control group received simple ICP real-time monitoring. ICP monitoring for both groups lasted for 5-7 d, and routine symptomatic support treatment was given. Stepwise treatment was adopted based on real-time changes of ICP. The differences in clinical data, ICP at different times, incidence of adverse events, length of hospital stay, mortality rate, and prognoses were compared between the 2 groups. Results:On the 2 nd, 3 rd, 4 th, and 5 th d of monitoring, the observation group had significantly decreased ICP compared with the control group ( P<0.05). Both observation group and control group had significantly increased ICP on the 2 nd, 3 rd, 4 th, and 5 th d of monitoring compared with that on the 1 st d of monitoring ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had statistically higher incidences of shivers and electrolyte disorders, and statistically lower incidences of unstable blood pressure, cerebral heart syndrome, septic shock, and cerebral hernia during hospitalization ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly shortened hospital stay, and statistically lower modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores, higher Glasgow outcome scale-extended (GOS-E) scores, higher good prognosis rate, and lower mortality rate 6 months after mechanical thrombectomy ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had statistically lower incidences of postoperative cerebral hemorrhage conversion and recurrent cerebral infarction ( P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the survival rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:ICP monitoring combined with TTM can reduce early complications, shorten hospital stay, reduce mortality, and improve long-term prognosis in patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke after mechanical thrombectomy.
