    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Cerebrovascular Surgery
    • Medical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Aneurysm treatment often involves craniotomies.
    • Monitoring cerebral blood flow is crucial for preventing ischemic complications.
    • Existing methods for monitoring cortical blood flow have limitations.

    Observation:

    • A thermal diffusion flow probe was utilized in over fifty craniotomies for aneurysm treatment.
    • The study observed the impact of hypotension, retractor pressure, vascular manipulation, and temporary vessel occlusion on cortical blood flow.
    • Cortical blood flow was continuously monitored during surgical procedures.

    Findings:

    • The thermal diffusion flow probe effectively monitored cortical blood flow during aneurysm surgery.
    • Factors such as hypotension, retractor pressure, and vessel occlusion significantly influence cortical blood flow.
    • Real-time monitoring enables immediate adjustments to anesthetic and surgical strategies.

    Implications:

    • Continuous monitoring of cortical blood flow can guide intraoperative decision-making.
    • This technique may help prevent ischemic complications during complex neurosurgical procedures.
    • Further experience is needed to assess safety in early operations and cases with vasospasm, potentially enabling safer interventions.
