Cause analysis of intracranial hemorrhage during operation on patients with brain injury

Abstract

Objective To study the possible reasons and the processing strategy of brain injury operation complicated with intracranial hemorrhage.Methods The clinical data about 22 patients who were digged skull operation because of brain injury and complicated with intracranial hemorrhage in operation in neurosurgery from 2007 June to 2008 February were retrospectively analyzed,and different types intracranial hemorrhage were classified.Results In 22 patients,12 patients were complicated with epidural hematoma,in which the patients (9/12,75.0%) complicated with opposite hematoma were common;5 patients were complicated with intracerebral hematoma,in which the patients (3/5,60%) complicated with ipsilateral hematoma were common;4 patients were complicated with acute subdural hematoma,and all the patients complicated with opposite hematoma;1 patient was complicated with sub-flap hematoma.Conclusions In the patients who are complicated with intracranial hemorrhage because of digging skull operation to brain injury,epidural hematoma are most,then intracerebral hematoma,subdural hematoma,sub-flap hematoma.The important measures of preventing secondary intracranial hemorrhage are definiting force mechanism and distinguishing fracture line before operation,gradiently decompressing,completely removing crushing brain tissue,protecting reflux veins,rigorously stopping bleeding during operation.
