Brain Edema, Brain Tumor, Fluid Therapy

Brief summary

Whether a fluid protocol aiming for protecting vital organ perfusion or fluid restriction is favorable to post-craniotomy outcomes such as brain edema remains uncertain. To our knowledge, there has been no extensive and quantitative analysis of brain edema following SVV-based GDFT in neurosurgical patients with malignant supratentorial glioma. So the study aims to observe the effect of the stroke volume variation-based GDFT on the postoperative brain edema and decrease the incidence of postoperative complications in neurosurgical patients with malignant supratentorial gliomas.

Interventions

OTHERGDFT

Target parameter will be titrated with fluid bolus, and thus individual amount varied depending on the parameter value at that time. Maintenance of oxygenation, hemoglobin, blood glucose, core temperature and hemodynamics, such as mean arterial pressure and heart rate, will be applied according to the same standard for each patient.

Fluid therapy will be done without goal directed. Maintenance of oxygenation, hemoglobin, blood glucose, core temperature and hemodynamics, such as mean arterial pressure and heart rate, will be applied according to the same standard for each patient.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quantitative analysis of brain edemaWithin 24 hours postoperativelyPostoperative brain edema is defined as edema surrounding the surgical resection cavity, which will be evaluated through CT images.Image evaluators will manually delineate region of interest (ROI) and operative cavity on each slice. The area will be calculated automatically by PACS system. The total volume will be acquired by multiplying area and slice thickness. The volume of edema will be calculated by the totoal volume of edema plus cavity minus the volume of cavity.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The incidence of deliriumDuring the first 3 postoperative daysDelirium was assessed twice daily (between 8-10 am and between 6-8 pm) with the Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) for critical care patients, or the 3-minute Diagnostic interview for Confusion Assessment Method (3D-CAM) for ward assessments, combined with the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS). Delirium assessments were only conducted in patients with RASS sedation score exceeding -4.
