Background

Surgery is the main method for the clinical treatment of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Traditional craniotomy faces the disadvantages of the long operation time, easy to cause secondary injury to patients during the operation, and prone to infection after the operation, which is not conducive to the rehabilitation of patients. At present, it is urgent to find a surgical scheme, which can clear hematoma in time, protect brain tissue, and effectively reduce surgical trauma in the clinic.

Materials and Methods

The case database of our hospital was consulted, and the clinical data of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) treated with soft channel minimally invasive puncture and drainage from February 2018 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were evaluated for efficacy, and the changes in serum C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), homocysteine (Hcy), endothelin (ET), and vasopressin (AVP) levels before surgery, 3 days after surgery, and 7 days after surgery were analyzed. Clinical data were collected and Logistic regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors.

Results

Finally, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 126 patients were selected as the research object. Among them, there were 24 cases (19.05%) of recovery, 47 cases (37.30%) of markedly effective, 34 cases (26.98%) of effective, 11 cases (8.73%) of ineffective, and 10 cases (7.94%) of death. The total effective rate was 83.33%. The hematoma was basically removed in 116 cases (92.06%). The average evacuation time of hematoma was (7.82 ± 1.63) days. Post-operative intracranial infection occurred in 2 cases (1.59%) and post-operative rebleeding occurred in 5 cases (3.97%). The average hospital stay was (34.16 ± 16.59) days. Serum CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, Hcy, ET, and AVP levels of all patients on the third and seventh days after surgery were lower than those before surgery, and those on the seventh day after surgery were lower than those on the third day after surgery (p &lt; 0.05). The differences in pre-operative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, bleeding volume, ventricular rupture, complicated cerebral hernia, and attack time to surgery between the good prognosis group and the bad prognosis group were statistically significant (p &lt; 0.05). Pre-operative GCS score, bleeding volume, ventricular rupture, complicated cerebral hernia, and onset time to surgery were all independent factors that affect the prognosis of patients (p &lt; 0.05).

Conclusion

Soft-channel minimally invasive puncture and drainage treatment of HICH has a significant effect, which is conducive to the complete removal of hematoma, reducing hospitalization time, while adjusting the balance and stability of various cytokines, and improving patient prognosis. Pre-operative GCS score, bleeding volume, rupture into the ventricle, complicated cerebral hernia, and time from onset to operation are all independent factors that affect the prognosis of patients.
