Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To determine the efficacy of subarachnoid space protection in intracranial operation.
METHODS:Data collected from 156 consecutive cranial operations, in which subarachnoid space protective technology was prophylacticly used, were analyzed.
RESULTS:Fourteen patients had a postoperative fever for more than 1 week and 16 patients who required lumbar puncture to release blood contaminated cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) or exclude meningitis. All except 3 patients were discharged as expected. No patients had symptomatic vasospasm and hydrocephalus.
CONCLUSION:The subarachnoid space protective technology has good effect on preventing postoperative fever and improving the outcome of patients.
