Veins of Head and Neck

Veins of Head and Neck

The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management

Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Background:

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) often requires venous sinus stenting (VSS) when medical treatments fail.
VSS is traditionally performed under general anesthesia.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and feasibility of VSS for IIH under conscious sedation.
To present single-center experience with this anesthetic approach.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 26 IIH patients undergoing VSS with remifentanil-based sedation.
Data collected included anesthesia dosage, procedural details, and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

All 26 patients completed VSS under conscious sedation without conversion to general anesthesia.
Technical success was 100%; 83.3% experienced headache regression, 80% improved papilledema, and 100% resolved pulsatile tinnitus.
One non-neurological complication occurred; no permanent morbidity or mortality.

Conclusions:

Conscious sedation is a safe and feasible anesthetic technique for VSS in IIH patients.
This method provides a viable alternative to general anesthesia, improving patient management.
