There is currently controversy on the ideal anesthesia strategy during mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing clinical and angiographic outcomes of patients undergoing general anesthesia (GA group) and those receiving either local anesthesia or conscious sedation (non-GA group).
A literature search on anesthesia and endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke was performed. Using random-effects meta-analysis, we evaluated the following outcomes: recanalization rate, good functional outcome at 90 days (modified Rankin Score≤2), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, death, vascular complications, respiratory complications, procedure time, and time to groin puncture.
Twenty-two studies (3 randomized controlled trials and 19 observational studies), including 4716 patients (1819 GA and 2897 non-GA) were included. In the nonadjusted analysis, patients in the GA group had higher odds of death (odds ratio [OR], 2.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.66-2.45) and respiratory complications (OR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.22-2.37) and lower odds of good functional outcome (OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.48-0.64) compared with the non-GA group. There was no difference in procedure time between the 2 primary comparison groups. When adjusting for baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, GA was still associated with lower odds of good functional outcome (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.29-0.94). When considering studies performed in the stent-retriever/aspiration era, there was no significant difference in good neurological outcome rates (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.67-1.06).
Acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing intra-arterial therapy may have worse outcomes when treated with GA as compared with conscious sedation/local anesthesia. However, major limitations of current evidence (ie, retrospective studies and selection bias) indicate a need for adequately powered, multicenter randomized controlled trials to answer this question.
目前,对于急性缺血性脑卒中机械取栓术的理想麻醉策略仍存在争议。我们对比较全身麻醉(GA 组)和局部麻醉或清醒镇静(非 GA 组)患者的临床和血管造影结局的研究进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析。
对麻醉和急性缺血性脑卒中血管内治疗的文献进行了检索。我们使用随机效应荟萃分析评估了以下结局:再通率、90 天的良好功能结局(改良 Rankin 评分≤2)、症状性颅内出血、死亡、血管并发症、呼吸并发症、手术时间和股动脉穿刺时间。
共纳入 22 项研究(3 项随机对照试验和 19 项观察性研究),包括 4716 例患者(1819 例 GA 组和 2897 例非 GA 组)。在未校正分析中,GA 组患者的死亡(比值比 [OR],2.02;95%置信区间 [CI],1.66-2.45)和呼吸并发症(OR,1.70;95%CI,1.22-2.37)的比值较高,而良好功能结局(OR,0.58;95%CI,0.48-0.64)的比值较低。两组之间的手术时间无差异。当调整基线国立卫生研究院卒中量表时,GA 仍与良好功能结局的可能性较低相关(OR,0.59;95%CI,0.29-0.94)。当考虑支架取栓/抽吸时代进行的研究时,良好的神经功能结局率无显著差异(OR,0.84;95%CI,0.67-1.06)。
与清醒镇静/局部麻醉相比,接受动脉内治疗的急性缺血性脑卒中患者接受 GA 治疗可能会有更差的结局。然而,当前证据的主要局限性(即回顾性研究和选择偏倚)表明,需要进行足够数量、多中心的随机对照试验来回答这个问题。
