ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of stellate ganglion block (SGB) on postoperative palpebral edema in patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm surgery. MethodsSixty patients who were scheduled to undergo intracranial aneurysm surgery between September 2012 and Novermber 2014 were recruited, and were assigned into 2 groups randomly with 30 in each:SGB group and control group. Patients in SGB group were administered SGB by injecting 0.3% ropivacaine on the operative side under the ultrasound guidance after surgery completed, while patients in the control group received injection of saline on the operative side under the ultrasound guidance. Incidence of postoperative palpebral edema at hour 24, 48, and 72 after surgery were measured. Numerical rating scale (NRS) was used to detect the severity of uncomfortable symptoms for palpebral swelling during rest state. The severity of palpebral edema was evaluated with continuous rating scale (0-5, 0 indicated normal palpebral, and higher score indicated more serious palpebral edema). Complications related with SGB were recorded. ResultsThe overall incidence of palpebral edema at hour 24 after surgery in SGB group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the overall incidence of palpebral edema at hour 48 and 72 after surgery between the two groups (P>0.05). The palpebral edema rating scores of the SGB group at hour 24 after surgery were lower than those of the control group (P<0.01).The incidence of palpebral edema which was scored 3 or more at hour 24 and 48 after surgery in SGB group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was found in the incidence of palpebral edema which was scored 3 or more at hour 72 after surgery between the two groups (P>0.05). No complication related with SGB was found. ConclusionSGB can safely reduce the incidence of postoperative palpebral edema in patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm surgery, and reduce the severity of palpebral edema.
Conventional maximum intensity projection (MIP) images tend to ignore some morphological features in the detection of intracranial aneurysms, resulting in missed detection and misdetection. To solve this problem, a new method for intracranial aneurysm detection based on omni-directional MIP image is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the three-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images were projected with the maximum density in all directions to obtain the MIP images. Then, the region of intracranial aneurysm was prepositioned by matching filter. Finally, the Squeeze and Excitation (SE) module was used to improve the CaraNet model. Excitation and the improved model were used to detect the predetermined location in the omni-directional MIP image to determine whether there was intracranial aneurysm. In this paper, 245 cases of images were collected to test the proposed method. The results showed that the accuracy and specificity of the proposed method could reach 93.75% and 93.86%, respectively, significantly improved the detection performance of intracranial aneurysms in MIP images.

ObjectiveTo explore the nursing method to avoid rupture of intracranial aneurysm during induction of anesthesia. MethodWe retrospectively analyzed the nursing method for 428 patients with aneurysm during the induction of anesthesia between October 2012 and October 2013. According to the causes of rupture of intracranial aneurysm (anxiety, tension, excitement, sudden elevation of blood pressure, physical labor), we adopted nursing methods to avoid those causes, and implemented targeted nursing methods during induction of anesthesia. ResultsNo intracranial aneurysm rupture occurred in these 428 aneurysm patients during induction of anesthesia. Two patients' absolute value of systolic blood pressure was below 80 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) during induction of anesthesia, and the vital signs of other patients kept normal. The number of intraoperative rupture cases was 3. When discharged from hospital, there were 385 patients with good prognosis, 39 patients with bad prognosis, and 4 death cases. ConclusionsTargeted nursing method based on patients' particular situation during induction of anesthesia can effectively control patients' emotion, stabilize fluctuations in hemodynamic indexes, decrease the incidence of aneurysm rupture, improve surgery treatment effect of intracranial aneurysm clipping, decrease complications, and improve patients' prognosis.
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of head boneless CT angiography (CTA) for surface shaded display (SSD) (hereinafter referred to as the SSD-CTA technology) and volume computed tomographic digital subtraction angiography (VCTDSA) in diagnosing intracranial aneurysms. MethodsWe collected the clinical data of 35 patients diagnosed to have intracranial aneurysm by VCTDSA between April 2013 and November 2014 from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. The original data were imported into the CT workstation of the First People's Hospital of Chengdu. Then, SSD-CTA technology was performed for bone reconstruction. We compared the results of these two technologies. In addition, we selected another 27 patients diagnosed with intracranial aneurysm by SSDCTA and DSA examination at the same time between June 2012 and November 2014 in the First People's Hospital of Chengdu for comparison. ResultsThe quality score of SSD-CTA reconstructed image was lower than that of VCTDSA, but the diagnosis of the two technologies for intracranial aneurysm was not statistically different (P>0.05). Compared with DSA, the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis for intracranial aneurysms by SSD-CTA were both 100%. ConclusionSSD-CTA is valuable in diagnosing intracranial aneurysms.
