Active clinical trials for "Intracranial Hypertension"

General anesthesia and regional anesthesia can be chosen in cesarean operations. Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are components of general anesthesia. Endotracheal intubation has been shown to cause increased intracranial pressure. There is not enough information about the effect of spinal anesthesia on intracranial pressure during cesarean operations. Increased intracranial pressure can cause neurological complications by disrupting brain perfusion. For this reason, the investigators think that the safe anesthesia method should be determined especially in pregnant patients who are at risk of increased intracranial pressure.

The purpose of the trial is to study the effect of acetazolamide administered via Ryle's tube on optic nerve sheath diameter in laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy patients.

Prospective study, 40 patients ASA 2-3, 30-75 years old who were planned for laparoscopic hysterectomy operation will be included.One day before the operation and postoperative 1.3.7. A mini mental assessment test will be performed on these days.Standard monitoring and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy monitoring to measure cerebral oxygen saturation will be performed on the patients.NIRS sensors will be placed on the right and left sides of the forehead, 2 cm above the eyebrow, before induction of anesthesia. Before the induction of anesthesia, the measurement will begin and the FiO2 (fraction of inspiration oxygen) will be kept at 60%.General anesthesia induction will be made with propofol 2mg/kg, remifentanil 0.5 µg/kg and rocuronium 0.6mg/kg, and maintenance will be provided with 2% sevoflurane.The patient will be intubated and ventilation support will be provided so that the tidal volume is 6-8 ml/kg and the end tidal CO2 is 30-40 mmHg. PEEP (Positive end expiratory pressure) will not be applied to any patient. Intra-abdominal pressure will be maintained at 15 mmHg. All patients will be given 1gr paracetamol and 100mg tramadol for postoperative analgesia.During the measurement of optic nerve diameter, a layer of sterile water-soluble gel will be applied on the closed eyelid with a linear 10-5 MHz ultrasound probe. In our study, ONSDs of all patients will be measured by the same experienced anesthetist. Measurements will be made at 5 different times. 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia in the supine position (T0), 5 minutes after the onset of pneumoperitoneum (T1), 5 minutes after the upright trendelenburg position (T2), at the 2nd hour of the trendelenburg position (T3) and 5 minutes after returning to the supine position at the end of the surgery (T4) .ONSD measurements of the patients measured at 5 different times, peroperative NIRS values, peroperative SpO2, mean blood pressure, peak heart rate, anesthesia time, surgery time, time to stay in the trendelenburg position, partial oxygen saturation (PaO2), PCO2, end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) and peak airway pressure (pPEAK) will be recorded.

Caudal epidural block has been a widely used regional anesthesia method, especially in pediatric surgery, to provide intraoperative and postoperative analgesia. Studies on non-invasive methods used for intracranial pressure measurement have shown that optic nerve sheath diameter is related to intracranial pressure. Optic nerve sheath diameter measurement has high diagnostic accuracy for detecting increased intracranial pressure in children. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of the caudal block on optic nerve sheath diameter in pediatric patients.

Fluid challenge is frequently used in fluid management of critically ill patients. Assessing whether there is a preload reserve that can be used to increase the stroke volume by delivering a small amount of fluid in a short period of time. Optimization of fluid therapy is very important in intensive care patients. Inappropriate fluid therapy can cause significant morbidity and even mortality. Increased intracranial pressure is one of these important complications. In the present study, we planned to evaluate the effect of a fluid challenge on intracranial pressure by measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD).

This research is being done to determine the accuracy of two noninvasive methods of measuring the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), also known as intracranial pressure or ICP.

Patients in for treatment of benign intracranial hypertension will undergo two tests that are not routinely performed for these patients: central corneal thickness and axial length of the eye. The data obtained from these measurements will be assessed to see if the correlate with aspects of vision loss including visual acuity, visual field status, optical coherence tomography (OCT) results, and fundus photographs.

This study involves looking at Cerebral oximetry measurements in pediatric and neonatal patients who are experiencing a critical illness. Such as Altered mental status, seizures, trauma, sepsis, etc.

The aim of the study is to understand the relationship between intracranial pressure regulation, cerebral tissue oxygenation and cognitive functioning. More specifically, the study tests the hypothesis that head down tilt will increase intracranial pressure (not measured in this study, but demonstrated in previous studies), will induce venous congestion and facial swelling, decrease intracranial tissue oxygenation and hamper brain functioning. The objectives of the study therefore are to assess young healthy people during head-down tilt (HDT), and to assess cognitive brain functioning, cerebral tissue oxygenation (non-invasively), frontal skin thickness, cerebral perfusion and neuronal functioning via event-related potentials.

The purpose of this study is to further elaborate the role of both arterial blood pressure and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration on measured venous pressures.
