[Benefit of Intraoperative Mannitol Use during Endoscopic Surgery for Intracerebral Hemorrhage]
Background:
Endoscopic hematoma evacuation is an established treatment option for patients with intra- cerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefit of mannitol use during en- doscopic hematoma evacuation.
Methods:
One hundred patients with ICH treated by endoscopic surgery from June 2009 to November 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. We divided them into mannitol administered group (n=19) and non- administered group (n=81).
Results:
As for the patient background, surgical time, amount of intraoperative bleeding, residual hema- toma, re-operation and postoperative 30-day mortality, no significant differences were found between the two groups.
Conclusions:
There was no clear clinical benefit of intraoperative mannitol use during endoscopic surgery for ICH.
