Manajemen Neuroanestesi pada Operasi Carotid Endarterectomy: Pasien dengan Riwayat Stroke Berulang

Abstract

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgical procedure performed to restore carotid blood flow and reduce the incidence of embolic and thrombotic strokes. Although it is a preventive procedure, CEA carries the risk of perioperative complications: neurologic and cardiac. Major complications of CEA are intra and postoperative stroke, myocardial infarction, and death. To reduce the number of intraoperative stroke events, one of them is to develop intraoperative monitoring technology with electroencephalogram (EEG). In this case, a male patient, 62 years old, with statistics of recurrent stroke and left leg weakness was approved for CEA under general anesthesia. Surgeons decide to use shunt selectively by assessing EEG monitoring when clamping. Finally the shunt was not performed, the operation lasted for 6 hours, tinged with hemodynamic shocks that often occur in patients with carotid disease due to baroreceptor disorders. By managing anesthesia meticulously during and after surgery, the operation was successfully performed, and the results of the post on the left leg strengthening motor increased from 2 to 4.
