Multimodal cerebral monitoring was utilized to examine the relationship between pathological changes in microdialysis parameters and the occurrence of spreading depolarizations (SD) in brain-injured patients. SD are a relatively newly discovered phenomenon in man found to be linked to secondary insults and infarct growth and they can be detected via electrocorticography (ECoG). A total of 24 brain-injured patients (mean age: 52±11 years) requiring craniotomy took part in this prospective observational study. Each patient was monitored with a linear strip electrode for ECoG data and a cerebral microdialysis probe. SD were detected in 13 of the 24 patients. Pathological concentrations of glucose and lactate in brain parenchyma were significantly correlated with various time points prior to and/or immediately following the SD. Severe systemic hyperglycemia and systemic hypoglycemia were also found to be correlated with the occurrence of SD. The present study shows a clear relationship between SD and pathological changes in cerebral metabolism; further studies are needed to elucidate these complex interactions with the ultimate goal of developing therapeutic strategies for improving outcome in brain-injured patients. |
