Caudal injections commonly used for neuraxial anaesthesia in children can displace cerebrospinal fluid cranially causing safety concerns in terms of raised intracranial pressure. Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is a noninvasive surrogate for the measurement of intracranial pressure. Regional cerebral oximetry (CrSO 2 ) can monitor brain oxygenation, which may decrease by a reduction in cerebral flow due to increased intracranial pressure.
Comparing how caudal injection volumes of 0.8 and 1.25 ml kg -1 influence ONSD and CrSO 2 within the first 30 min after injection.
Prospective, randomised and parallel group trial.
Operating room.
Fifty-eight elective paediatric surgical patients between ages 1 and 7 years old, ASA class I or II, without previous intracranial or ocular pathology and surgery appropriate for single - shot caudal anaesthesia.
Single-shot caudal anaesthesia with 0.8 ml kg -1 (group L, n = 29) and 1.25 ml kg -1 (group H, n = 29) of 2 mg kg -1 bupivacaine solution.
Optic nerve sheath diameter measured with ultrasonography and regional cerebral oximetry measured by near - infrared spectroscopy before (NIRS), immediately after, 10, 20 and 30 min after the block.
Mean ONSD values increased from a baseline of 4.4 ± 0.2 mm to a maximum of 4.5 ± 0.2 mm 20 min after injection in group L and from a baseline of 4.5 ± 0.3 mm to a maximum of 4.8 ± 0.3 mm 10 min after injection in group H. Eight of 29 patients in group H and none in group L had an ONSD increase by more than 10%. Both groups had a reduction of less than 2.5% in CrSO 2 .
Caudal injection with 1.25 ml kg -1 increased ONSD, an indirect measurement of ICP, more than 0.8 ml kg -1 and neither volume caused a clinically important reduction in CrSO 2 .

在儿童的椎管内麻醉中,常使用骶管注射来阻滞,可能会导致脑脊液向颅侧移位,从而引发颅内压升高的安全隐患。视神经鞘直径(ONSD)是一种测量颅内压的非侵入性替代方法。区域性脑组织氧饱和度(CrSO 2 )可以监测脑氧合,由于颅内压升高导致脑血流减少,CrSO 2 可能会降低。
比较 0.8ml/kg-1 和 1.25ml/kg-1 的骶管注射剂量在注射后 30 分钟内对 ONSD 和 CrSO 2 的影响。
前瞻性、随机、平行组试验。
手术室。
58 例择期行小儿外科手术的患者,年龄 1 至 7 岁,ASA 分级 I 或 II 级,无颅内或眼部疾病史,适合单次骶管麻醉。
单次骶管麻醉,给予 2mg/kg-1 的布比卡因溶液 0.8ml/kg-1(L 组,n=29)和 1.25ml/kg-1(H 组,n=29)。
超声测量视神经鞘直径,近红外光谱法(NIRS)测量区域脑组织氧饱和度,分别在阻滞前(NIRS)、阻滞即刻、10、20 和 30 分钟后进行测量。
L 组的平均 ONSD 值从基线的 4.4±0.2mm 增加到 20 分钟时的最大 4.5±0.2mm,H 组从基线的 4.5±0.3mm 增加到 10 分钟时的最大 4.8±0.3mm。H 组 29 例患者中有 8 例 ONSD 增加超过 10%,而 L 组无一例。两组的 CrSO 2 均减少不到 2.5%。
1.25ml/kg-1 的骶管注射比 0.8ml/kg-1 更能增加 ONSD,这是 ICP 的间接测量值,而两种容量都不会导致 CrSO 2 显著减少。
