Abstract

PURPOSE: Coagulation disorder and intraoperative hypotension are representative complications of traumatic brain injury which cause worse perioperative outcome. The aim of this study was to survey the relation of coagulation disorder and intraoperative hypotension (IH) during decompressive craniectomy.

METHOD: Patients who underwent emergency decompressive craniectomy due to traumatic brain injury were retrospectively surveyed. The relation between preoperative coagulation date and intraoperative hypotension (systolic blood pressure < 60 mmHg after dural opening) was analyzed.

RESULTS: Of 41 patients screened, 12 patients (27.9%) developed IH. Fibrinogen degradation products (314 vs 64.4 μg/mL; RESULTS:  = 0.01) were significantly higher in the IH group. In contrast, fibrinogen (181 vs 239 mg/dL; RESULTS:  = 0.01) was significantly lower in the IH group. Reduction rate of sBRP before and after dural opening (%) was higher in IH group than in non-IH group (49.1 vs 27.6%: RESULTS:  = 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative elevated FDP may predict IH after dural opening during traumatic decompressive craniectomy.
