Application of the intracranial pressure monitoring device in patients with intracranial aneurysm hemorrhaging into the ventricle

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of the application of intracranial pressure monitoring device in patients with intracranial aneurysm hemorrhaging into the ventricle.

MethodsThe clinical characteristics, complications and prognosis in 23 patients with intracranial aneurysm hemorrhaging into the ventricle were retrospectively analyzed.

ResultsAll patients were divided into three groups according to the HUNT-HESS classification.The average initial intracranial pressure was 28.52 mmHg.Postoperative intracranial infection occurred in 3 cases, the aneurysm rupture rebleeding in 2 cases were identified, and the postoperative hydrocephalus in 4 cases were found.The intracranial pressure device was implanted for 3 to 12 days(mean 6.87 days).At discharge, the GOS scores of grade Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ HUNT-HESS were 5.00, 3.33 and 2.44 points, respectively.The differences of GCS scores in different grades were statistically significant(P < 0.01).

ConclusionsThe application of intracranial pressure monitoring device in patients with intracranial aneurysm hemorrhaging into the ventricle can help to monitor the intracranial pressure in real-time, and ensure the smooth treatment course and better prognosis.
