AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how effective modified aspiration techniques are compared to traditional ones in treating patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
- 159 patients were analyzed, with 66 receiving traditional aspiration and 93 receiving modified aspiration, both paired with thrombolysis; the results showed lower mortality and re-bleeding rates in the modified group.
- Patients in the modified aspiration group also had better long-term outcomes, as evidenced by significantly higher Barthel Index scores compared to those in the traditional group.
Article Abstract
Aim: The aim of the retrospective study was to compare the clinical efficacy of the traditional way of aspiration and the modified way of aspiration. MATERIAL and
Methods: Clinical data of total 159 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage treated by traditional (group A, n=66) or modified (group B, n=93) way of aspiration (both combined with thrombolysis) were retrospectively analyzed. Reduction of clot volume in the first operation, rate of mortality and re-bleeding, complications, and long-term clinical outcomes of the two groups were compared.
Results: Twenty-five out of 159 patients (15.7%) died during in-hospital stay. The mortality and post-operation re-bleeding rate in group B (10.8% and 1.1%) were significantly lower than that in group A (22.7% and 9.1%), (P < 0.05). The BI scores of patients in group B (79.5±23.2) were significantly higher than that in group A (69.2±23.9), (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Our data suggested that modifying details of aspiration operation may contribute to the improved prognosis of ICH patients.
