Objectives: Current evidence supporting the use of continuous intravenous labetalol for blood pressure (BP) control in neurosurgical patients is limited. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of labetalol in neurosurgical patients and identify potential contributing factors to these outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of neurosurgical patients who received continuous labetalol infusion for BP control. Efficacy was assessed based on the time needed to achieve the target BP (systolic BP ≤ 140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≤ 90 mmHg). Safety was assessed according to adverse events that occurred during labetalol administration. Factors associated with efficacy and safety were analyzed using a logistic regression model.
Results: Among 79 patients enrolled in this study, 47 (59.49%) achieved the target BP within 1 hour (early response). No factors were significantly associated with an early response. Hypotension was observed in 11 patients (13.9%), and bradycardia was observed in 8 patients (10.1%). Hypotension was significantly associated with patient age and motor impairment, while bradycardia was significantly associated with diabetes mellitus.
Conclusion: The efficacy and safety profiles of labetalol infusion suggest this treatment as a promising option for BP control in neurosurgical patients.

Background: The effect of targeted temperature management (TTM) combined with decompressive craniectomy (DC) on poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has not been previously addressed in the literature. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic outcomes of the combination of TTM and DC in patients with poor-grade aSAH.
Methods: This study represents a secondary analysis of the Multicenter Clinical Research on Targeted Temperature Management of Poor-grade Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (High-Quality TTM for PaSAH), a multicenter prospective study conducted in China.

Injury of the internal carotid artery (ICA), anterior cerebral artery (ACA), and middle cerebral artery (MCA) are rare but devastating complications during microsurgery of the anterior and middle cranial skull base. We systematically reviewed the current knowledge on ICA, ACA, and MCA injury during skull base microsurgery and performed a multicentric data collection to refine their management. A systematic review of ICA, ACA, and MCA injuries during direct microsurgical approaches to the anterior and middle cranial skull base was performed, using PRISMA-IPD guidelines and using a multicentric case collection.
