The Neuroprotective Effect of Thiopental on the Postoperative Neurological Complications in Patients Undergoing Surgical Clipping of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysm: A Retrospective Analysis

Abstract: Although thiopental improved neurological outcomes in several animal studies, there are still insufficient clinical data examining the efficacy of thiopental for patients undergoing surgical clipping of unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA). This study validated the effect of thiopental and investigated risk factors associated with postoperative neurological complications in patients undergoing surgical clipping of UIA. In total, 491 patients who underwent aneurysm clipping were included in this retrospective… Show more

“…Induction of the general anesthesia related to the endovascular stroke condition has been reported in the area of anesthetic component application for controlling the neuroprotective functions of the drug components. Thiopental is related to the area of the lower rate of the neuroprotective functionality among the rat brain [ 17 ].…”

“…[28][29][30][31][32][33] Pharmacological burst-suppression during TC placement, a seemingly sensible maneuver to improve tolerance to focal ischemia by reducing CMRO2, is one such measure that has since been adopted into clinical practice in many institutions despite the absence of any strong clinical evidence supporting its routine use. 29,30,[34][35][36][37] While 2 studies-a post hoc analysis of the Intraoperative Hypothermia for Aneurysm Surgery Trial by Hindman et al 38 and a retrospective review with propensity score matching analysis by Kim et al 39 -explored the effects of pharmacological neuroprotection during TC placement, neither performed a logistic regression analysis with the intraoperative EEG end point as a variable of interest, and thus no inference can be drawn on whether pharmacological burst-suppression was beneficial during TC placement.…”
