Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the association between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative cerebral ischemia in patients undergoing malignant brain tumor resection.Methods:The study was a secondary analysis of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Four hundred and eighty patients with malignant brain tumor from November 2018 to September 2022 in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University were selected. All patients were treated with selective supratentorial tumor resection. The demographic characteristics, perioperative indexes, postoperative outcomes and intraoperative hypotension characteristics were recorded. The cerebral ischemia during postoperative hospitalization (within 10 d after operation) was documented, and the patients were categorized based on the occurrence of postoperative cerebral ischemia.Results:Among 480 patients, 28 cases (5.83%) developed postoperative cerebral ischemia (cerebral ischemia group), while 452 cases did not experience cerebral ischemia during hospitalization (non-cerebral ischemia group). The proportion of WHO grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ, secondary surgery rate and postoperative hospital stay in cerebral ischemia group were significantly higher than those in non-cerebral ischemia group: 96.43% (27/28) vs. 81.19% (367/452), 10.71% (3/28) vs. 1.99% (9/452) and 13 (10, 16) d vs. 10 (8, 14) d, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); there were no statistical differences in gender composition, age, body mass index, medical history, medication history, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, Charlson comorbidity index, preoperative Karnofsky performance status score, tumor laterality, tumor volume, midline shift, operative time, operative time >5 h, fluid intake, red blood cell transfusion, plasma transfusion, blood loss, urine output, fluid balance, serum urea, serum creatinine, glomerular filtration rate, β 2-microglobulin, prothrombin time, international normalized ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, postoperative complications, ICU admission, ICU stay duration, mechanical ventilation and hospitalization costs between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were also no statistical difference in the duration, time-weighted average and cumulative area under the threshold curve for mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 65, 70 and 75 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), nor in the duration, time-weighted average and cumulative area under the threshold curve for relative reductions of 20%, 30% and 40% in MAP between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The patients undergoing malignant brain tumor resection have the higher risk of postoperative cerebral ischemia. The association between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative cerebral ischemia is not significant. Maintenance of intraoperative circulation should be guided by individualized monitoring and target values, which requires further interventional studies for validation.
