Is general anesthesia required for cerebral aneurysm interventional surgery?

General anesthesia for cerebral aneurysm interventional surgery?

1. Intracranial aneurysm surgery requires general anesthesia to keep the patient absolutely quiet and prevent and treat three problems: aneurysm rupture, cerebral vasospasm, and increased intracranial pressure.

2. Aneurysm rupture: The aneurysm rupture rate during anesthesia induction is about 1% to 4%. Once it occurs, the mortality rate is as high as 50%; the surgical incidence rate is 5% to 19%, which mainly occurs when the aneurysm is separated, the tumor pedicle is clamped, the clamp is detached, the dura mater is cut, the intracranial pressure drops to the atmospheric pressure level, and excessive brain retraction causes reflex intracranial hypertension. The anesthesiologist will strictly control blood pressure throughout the anesthesia process to avoid increasing the transmural pressure of the aneurysm and maintain a moderately low mean arterial pressure or systolic pressure.

3. Based on the dialectical treatment of different tumors and different stages of the disease, flexibly apply the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, softening and dispersing nodules, clearing away heat and detoxifying, and strengthening the body, give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine's holistic treatment, so that patients can strengthen their physical fitness and improve their immune function after surgery; patients undergoing radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy can reduce or eliminate toxic and side effects and enhance the efficacy; patients in the advanced stage can reduce pain and prolong their life.

4. Cancer patients should try to avoid eating cancer-inducing foods and eat more anti-cancer foods. According to research, common anti-cancer foods include cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage and cauliflower, radish, garlic, sour plum, soybean, beef, mushrooms, asparagus, coix seed, etc.

5. Patients with tumor surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or advanced tumors are mainly suffering from Qi deficiency symptoms such as loss of appetite, fatigue, and abdominal distension after eating. You can choose Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Poria, Chinese Yam, coreless lotus seeds, coix seeds, red dates, glutinous rice, and sugar in appropriate amounts. Preparation method: Add about 10,000 ml of water to various medicines, boil and simmer for 30 minutes, remove the cloth wrapped Codonopsis and Atractylodes, add glutinous rice, sugar, and appropriate amount of water to cook porridge.
