RESUMEN

Objective To explore the value of controlled decompression under intracranial pressure monitoring in craniotomy of patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage.Methods One hundred and six patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage,admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to July 2018,were prospectively enrolled.These patients were divided into control group (n=5 l) and treatment group (n=55) according to their families' wishes.The patients in the control group were treated with traditional craniotomy and hematoma removal;the patients in the treatment group were treated with controlled decompression combined with craniotomy and hematoma clearance under intracranial pressure monitoring,and intracranial pressure monitoring and management were carried out after operation.The rate of bone flap acceptance during operation,incidences of complications such as re-bleeding,scalp exudation,intracranial infection and cerebral infarction after operation,rate of re-operation and Glasgow outcome scale scores 6 months after injury were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results Five patients had midway withdrawal (2 from the control group and 3 from the treatment group),and 101 patients (49 from the control group and 52 from the treatment group) were included in the statistical analysis.The rate of bone flap acceptance in the treatment group (69.2％) was significantly higher than that in the control group (24.5％,P＜0.05).The incidences of complications such as bleeding,scalp exudation,intracranial infection and cerebral infarction (11.5％,7.7％,3.8％,and 13.5％) were significantly lower than those in the control group (30.6％,22.4％,16.3％,and 34.7％,P＜0.05).The re-operation rate (3.8％) was significantly lower than that in the control group (16.3％,P＜0.05).Good recovery rate in the treatment group (76.9％) was significantly higher than that in the control group (55.1％,P＜0.05).The mortality rate (7.7％) was significantly lower than that of the control group (22.4％,P＜0.05).Conclusion For patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage,controlled decompression under intracranial pressure monitoring combined with craniotomy and hematoma removal can significantly improve the rate of bone flap acceptance,reduce the rate of second-stage cranioplasty,reduce the incidence of complications and re-operation rate,and more effectively improve the quality of life and prognosis of patients.
