Application of positive end-expiratory pressure to dogs with noncardiogenic pulmonary edema increased intracranial pressure (measured as cerebrospinal fluid pressure) and decreased cerebral perfusion pressure. The magnitude of these changes depended on the amount of end-expiratory pressure applied and the lung compliance.

Background The data on the effect of sevoflurane on intracranial pressure in humans are still limited and inconclusive. The authors hypothesized that sevoflurane would increase intracranial pressure as compared to propofoL METHODS: In 20 patients with no evidence of mass effect undergoing transsphenoidal hypophysectomy, anesthesia was induced with intravenous fentanyl and propofol and maintained with 70% nitrous oxide in oxygen and a continuous propofol infusion, 100 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1). The authors assigned patients to two groups randomized to receive only continued propofol infusion (n = 10) or sevoflurane (n = 10) for 20 min. During the 20-min study period, each patient in the sevoflurane group received, in random order, two concentrations (0.5 times the minimum alveolar concentration [MAC] and 1.0 MAC end-tidal) of sevoflurane for 10 min each. The authors continuously monitored lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, blood pressure, heart rate, and anesthetic concentrations. Results Lumbar CSF pressure increased by 2+/-2 mmHg (mean+/-SD) with both 0.5 MAC and 1 MAC of sevoflurane. Cerebral perfusion pressure decreased by 11+/-5 mmHg with 0.5 MAC and by 15+/-4 mmHg with 1.0 MAC of sevoflurane. Systolic blood pressure decreased with both concentrations of sevoflurane. To maintain blood pressure within predetermined limits (within+/-20% of baseline value), phenylephrine was administered to 5 of 10 patients in the sevoflurane group (range = 50-300 microg) and no patients in the propofol group. Lumbar CSF pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, and systolic blood pressure did not change in the propofol group. Conclusions Sevoflurane, at 0.5 and 1.0 MAC, increases lumbar CSF pressure. The changes produced by 1.0 MAC sevoflurane did not differ from those observed in a previous study with 1.0 MAC isoflurane or desflurane.

Craniocerebral Injuries

In a considerable number of cases, many polytraumatized patients in a state of hemorrhagic shock, who require immediate surgical treatment, there is craniocerebral trauma. Ketamine is viewed, on one hand, as an appropriate induction anesthetic, due to its circulatory stimulating effect in treating shock victims, and, on the other hand, it is rejected for treating patients with craniocerebral injuries, because of the danger of possible increase in intracranial pressure (ICP). Therefore, we examined the effects of ketamine on ICP and calculated the cerebral perfusion pressure, using test animals in a state of hemorrhagic shock and a space occupying intracranial process.

Fiberoptic Catheter

The effects of subarachnoid administration of iohexol on intracranial hemodynamic in dogs anesthetized with propofol or sevoflurane were evaluated. Thirty adult animals (10.9±2.9kg) were distributed into two groups: PG, where propofol was used for induction (10±0.5mg/kg), followed by a continuous rate infusion at 0.55±0.15mg/kg/hour, and SG, where sevoflurane was administered for induction (2.5 MAC) and for anesthetic maintenance (1.5 MAC). A fiberoptic catheter was implanted on the right superficial cerebral cortex to monitor intracranial pressure (ICP). After 30 minutes, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was collected at the cisterna magna and iohexol was injected. The measurements were performed before CSF collection (TA), after the iohexol injection (T0), and at 10-minute intervals (T10 to T60). Intracranial pressure decreased at T0 in SG. Cerebral perfusion pressure at T0 was higher than at TA, T50 and T60 in PG, but in SG, the mean value at T0 was higher than the ones from T20 to T60. Mean arterial pressure at T0 was higher than at TA in PG, while in SG, the values from T20 to T60 were lower than at T0. The heart rate at T60 was lower than at T0 in PG. Cardiac output at TA was lower than at T60 in SG. The cerebrospinal fluid collection and administration of iohexol promoted decrease in intracranial pressure in sevolflurane-anesthetized dogs and increase in cerebral perfusion pressure in propofol-anesthetized dogs.

Neurosurgical Patients

✓ Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is used to improve oxygenation in patients with the adult respiratory distress syndrome. Nevertheless, this treatment may increase intracranial pressure (ICP) and be detrimental to certain neurosurgical patients. This clinical situation was simulated by administering PEEP to dogs with normal and elevated ICP. Increases in PEEP increased ICP in all animals. However, the presence of intracranial hypertension diminished the increase in ICP seen at a given level of PEEP. Cerebral perfusion pressure also fell less in the presence of intracranial hypertension than it did in its absence, although in the former situation cerebral perfusion pressure was at the lower limits of the range of cerebral autoregulation. These findings suggest that PEEP is no more detrimental to patients with elevated ICP than it is to patients whose ICP is normal, assuming that their cerebral autoregulation is not impaired.
