Brief summary

To investigate whether stellate ganglion block is helpful to brain protection during cranial aneurysm surgery

Detailed description

The vasospasm after cranial aneurysm surgery have a higher incidence, but not have an ideal treatment method. At present, the medical treatment is very limited effect to prevent the perioperative cerebral ischemia.Stellate ganglion block (SGB)is an effective and well-tolerated approach to the treatment of CVS in various clinical settings.Resent study indicated that SGB has a protective effect on delayed cerebral vasospasm in an experimental rat model of subarachnoid hemorrhage.Therefore,we hypothesized that the preoperative SGB would be a effective treatment for improvement of vasospasm after cranial aneurysm surgery.

Interventions

DRUGStellate Ganglion Block

stellate ganglion block will be administered using either 6-8mL saline (Group 1) or 0.25% ropivacaine 6-8mL (Group 2)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The incidence of cerebral vasospasmChange from baseline at 2hour,6hour,1day,3day,and 7day after aneurysm surgeryThe occurrence of cerebral vasospasm will be diagnosed by using of the transcranial doppler instrument.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Perioperative cerebral oxygen metabolismChange from baseline at 2hour,6hour,1day,3day,and 7day postoperativelyCerebral oxygen metabolism will be monitored through jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjVO2) and cerebral extraction rate of oxygen (CERO2), and measured by blood gas analysis at each time point, the latter will be calculated using the formula: CaO2 = (Hb\*1.38\*SaO2) + (0.003\*PaO2); CvO2 = (Hb\*1.38\*SjvO2) + (0.003\*PjvO2); CERO2 = (CaO2-CvO2)/CaO2 where CaO2 is arterial oxygen content, Hb is arterial hemoglobin concentration, SaO2 is arterial oxygen saturation, PaO2 is the arterial partial pressure of oxygen, CvO2 is mixed venous oxygen content and PjvO2 is the jugular venous partial pressure of oxygen.
The difference of plasma endothelin, melatonin, and S100-β protein level between two groups at each time pointChange from baseline at 2hour,6hour,1day,3day,and 7day postoperativelyA 5-mL jugular venous blood sample will be taken at each time point, centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 25 min, and kept in a freezer at -80°C until analysis. the concentrations of plasma endothelin, melatonin, and S100-β protein will be measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
Postoperative cognitive functionChange from baseline at 2hour,6hour,1day,3day,and 7day after aneurysm surgeryThe postoperative cognitive function will be measured by using of the mini-mental state examination (MMSE).

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
The postoperative recovery qualityChange from baseline at 2hour,6hour,1day,3day,and 7day postoperativelyThe postoperative recovery quality will be evaluated by using of the Post-operative Quality Recovery Scale (PQRS)
