About this study

Official title: Analysis of Related Factors of Hematoma Morphology in Patients With Cerebral Hemorrhage and Prognosis Analysis of Different Regimens for Cerebral Hemorrhage

To analyze the influence of early hematoma morphology on hematoma expansion, optimize the treatment plan for cerebral hemorrhage, and guide the treatment of patients with cerebral hemorrhage in combination with clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

Intracerebral hemorrhage refers to the hemorrhage caused by the rupture of blood vessels in the non-traumatic brain parenchyma, accounting for 20% to 30% of all strokes, with an acute mortality rate of 30% to 40%. Different degrees of movement disorders, language disorders, etc. will be left behind. It is of great clinical significance to deeply explore the relevant factors and effective treatment plans for the evolution of cerebral hemorrhage. 30% of hematomas can still have active bleeding within 20 hours of onset. The INTERACT test defines hematoma expansion as 24-48 hours of repeated non-enhanced CT. The increase in hematoma volume >12.5ml or 33% of the original volume is the cause of neurological deterioration and abnormality. An important cause of poor prognosis, studies have confirmed that irregular hematoma morphology is a strong predictor of hematoma expansion. Treatment of cerebral hemorrhage currently includes medical treatment and surgical treatment. Surgical treatment has become an important method for the treatment of ICH due to its advantages of rapid removal of hematoma, relief of high intracranial pressure, and release of mechanical compression. However, whether surgery can reduce the mortality of patients with cerebral hemorrhage and improve neurological damage is still controversial. Surgical operations include dstereotactic intracranial hematoma puncture and drainage, decompressive craniectomy , neuroendoscopic. Currently, there are large randomized controlled trials at home and abroad on minimally invasive hematoma evacuation. The treatment of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is safe, but the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgery is unclear due to inconsistent bleeding volume, surgical trauma, and hematoma morphology.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Stereotactic intracranial hematoma punctureProcedure or surgery

    Check the CT scan of the patient's brain, find out the largest hematoma level of the patient, measure the coordinates of the puncture center, locate and mark the skull surface according to the coordinates obtained from the measurement, select the puncture point under the stereotaxic instrument, and mainly avoid important blood vessels , nerves and functional areas. Use an electric drill to drill the puncture needle into the center of the hematoma, and slowly aspirate the hematoma from the side hole until the suction stops when there is resistance. The residual hematoma in CT and the location of the drainage tube were determined, and the position of the puncture needle was adjusted for the situation of brain CT. After the operation, according to the re-examination of cranial CT, urokinase was injected into the hematoma cavity through the drainage tube to dissolve the residual hematoma, and the operation process strictly followed aseptic operation.

  • decompressive craniectomyProcedure or surgery

    Prior to the procedure, all patients obtained endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia following the informed consent provided by their family members. Upon identifying the hematoma's location through CT imaging, the surgeon made a linear or horseshoe-shaped incision on the scalp and subsequently opened the dura mater after creating a bone flap. The hematoma was punctured using a brain needle, allowing for effective decompression. The cerebral cortex was incised along the cerebral gyri, facilitating the separation of brain tissue to eliminate residual hematoma. Once hemostasis was ensured within the operative area, a silicone drainage tube was inserted, and the cranial bone flap was restored to its original position. In cases of severe brain edema or cerebral herniation, bone flap decompression was performed.

  • NeuroendoscopicProcedure or surgery

    The patient's preoperative CT and MR imaging data were fused with a neuronavigation system to avoid important functional areas and select the closest point of the hematoma to the cortex as the location point. Routine craniotomy was performed with a 2*3 cm bone window, the puncture direction was repositioned by neuronavigation, the sheath was placed at the center of the hematoma, the core was removed, the endoscope was gradually aspirated, and the bleeding was stopped with electrocoagulation if there was considerable active bleeding. A drainage tube was placed, the bone flap was reset after surgery, and the scalp was sutured.

drug treatment groupGeneral treatment: Based on high-level nursing care and close and continuous attention to the patient's vital signs, the patient is instructed to stay in bed continuously, give oxygen, and instruct the patient to avoid emotional agitation, etc. ②Special treatment: use hemostatic drugs, control blood pressure to prevent rebleeding, control blood sugar, control body temperature, anti-epilepsy, prevent infection, dehydration and lower intracranial pressure, etc. Multisystem complications such as tract hemorrhage should be actively managed.

  2. 90-day Modified Rankin Rating Scale score;

    Modified Rankin Rating Scale score at 90 days after discharge,0-3 indicates good prognosis, 4-6 indicates poor prognosis, and 6 indicates death.

    Measured: 90-day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 90-day mortality

    Proportion of patients who died 90 days after discharge

    Measured: 90-day
