To identify clinical and radiological factors associated to early evolution to brain death (BD), defined as occurring within the first 24 h.
A retrospective cohort study was made covering the period 2015-2017.
An adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
PATIENTS/METHODS: Epidemiological, clinical and imaging (CT scan) parameters upon admission to the ICU in patients evolving to BD.
A total of 166 patients with BD (86 males, mean age 62.7 years) were analyzed. Primary cause: intracerebral hemorrhage 42.8%, subarachnoid hemorrhage 18.7%, traumatic brain injury 17.5%, anoxia 9%, stroke 7.8%, other causes 4.2%. Epidemiological data: arterial hypertension 50%, dyslipidemia 34%, smoking 33%, antiplatelet medication 21%, alcoholism 19%, anticoagulant therapy 15%, diabetes 15%. The Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) upon admission was 3 in 68.8% of the cases in early BD versus in 38.2% of the cases in BD occurring after 24 h (p = 0.0001). Eighty-five patients presented supratentorial hematomas with a volume of 90.9 ml in early BD versus 82.7 ml in BD > 24 h (p = 0.54). The mean midline shift was 10.7 mm in early BD versus 7.8 mm in BD > 24 h (p = 0.045). Ninety-one patients presented ventriculomegaly and 38 additionally ependymal transudation (p = 0.021). Thirty-six patients with early BD versus 24 with BD > 24 h presented complete effacement of basal cisterns (p = 0.005), sulcular effacement (p = 0.013), loss of cortico-subcortical differentiation (p = 0.0001) and effacement of the suprasellar cistern (p = 0.005). The optic nerve sheath measurements showed no significant differences between groups.
Early BD (>24 h) was associated to GCS < 5, midline shift, effacement of the basal cisterns, cerebral sulci and suprasellar cistern, and ependymal transudation.
确定与脑死亡(BD)早期演变相关的临床和影像学因素,BD 定义为发生在 24 小时内。
回顾性队列研究,涵盖 2015-2017 年期间。
成人重症监护病房(ICU)。
患者/方法:对 ICU 中进展为 BD 的患者的入院时的流行病学、临床和影像学(CT 扫描)参数进行分析。
共分析了 166 例 BD 患者(男性 86 例,平均年龄 62.7 岁)。主要病因:脑出血 42.8%,蛛网膜下腔出血 18.7%,创伤性脑损伤 17.5%,缺氧 9%,中风 7.8%,其他原因 4.2%。流行病学数据:动脉高血压 50%,血脂异常 34%,吸烟 33%,抗血小板药物治疗 21%,酒精中毒 19%,抗凝治疗 15%,糖尿病 15%。早期 BD 中 68.8%的病例入院时格拉斯哥昏迷评分(GCS)为 3,而 24 小时后 BD 中的病例为 38.2%(p=0.0001)。早期 BD 中有 85 例患者出现幕上血肿,体积为 90.9ml,而 24 小时后 BD 中有 82.7ml(p=0.54)。中线移位的平均值为早期 BD 中 10.7mm,24 小时后 BD 中 7.8mm(p=0.045)。91 例患者出现脑室扩大,38 例患者出现室管膜渗出(p=0.021)。36 例早期 BD 患者与 24 例 24 小时后 BD 患者相比,基底池完全消失(p=0.005)、脑沟消失(p=0.013)、皮质下分化丧失(p=0.0001)和鞍上池消失(p=0.005)。视神经鞘测量在两组之间无显著差异。
早期 BD(>24 小时)与 GCS<5、中线移位、基底池、脑沟和鞍上池消失以及室管膜渗出有关。
