This study aimed to demonstrate a reduction in the risk of venous air embolism (VAE) and tension pneumocephalus by using the dynamic lateral semisitting position for the supracerebellar approach. The results showed that none of the patients had clinically significant VAE, tension pneumocephalus, or major complications.
BACKGROUND:It has always been a matter of debate which position is ideal for the supracerebellar approach. The risk of venous air embolism (VAE) is the major deterrent for surgeons and anesthesiologists, despite the fact that sitting and semisitting positions are commonly used in these operations.OBJECTIVE:To demonstrate a reduction on the risk of VAE and tension pneumocephalus throughout the operation period while taking advantages of the semisitting position.METHODS:In this study, 11 patients with various diagnoses were operated in our department using the supracerebellar approach in the dynamic lateral semisitting position. We used end-tidal carbon dioxide and arterial blood pressure monitoring to detect venous air embolism.RESULTS:None of the patients had clinically significant VAE in this study. No tension pneumocephalus or major complications were observed. All the patients were extubated safely after surgery.CONCLUSION:The ideal position, with which to apply the supracerebellar approach, is still a challenge. In our study, we presented an alternative position that has advantages of the sitting and semisitting positions with a lower risk of venous air embolism.
