Serum Biomarkers for Risk Assessment of Intrahospital Transports in Mechanically Ventilated Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit Patients.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVE:Intrahospital transports (IHTs) of neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU) patients can be hazardous. Increasing intracranial pressure (ICP) and/or decreasing cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) as well as cardiopulmonary alterations are common complications of an IHTs, which can lead to secondary brain injury. This study was performed to assess several serum biomarkers concerning their potential to improve safety of IHTs in mechanically ventilated NICU patients. METHODS:All IHTs of mechanically ventilated and sedated NICU patients from 03/2017 to 01/2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Intracranial pressure and CPP measurements were performed in all patients. Serum hemoglobin, hematocrit, and serum sodium were defined as serum biomarkers. Demographic data, computed tomography scan on admission, Simplified Acute Physiology Score and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, modified Rankin Scale, indication and consequence of IHTs were analyzed. Alteration of ICP/CPP, hemodynamic and pulmonary events were defined as complications. The study population was stratified into patients with the occurrence of a complication and absence of a complication. RESULTS:We analyzed a total number of 184 IHTs in 70 NICU patients with an overall complication rate of 57.6%. Of all, 32.1% IHTs had no direct therapeutic consequence. In patients with higher hemoglobin values prior to IHT less complications occurred, concerning ICP (P = .001), CPP (P = .001), hemodynamic (P = .005), and pulmonary (P < .0001) events. In addition, complications concerning ICP (P = .001), CPP (P = .001), hemodynamic (P = .005), and pulmonary problems (P = .002) were significantly lower in patients with higher hematocrit values before IHT. CONCLUSION:Intrahospital transports of mechanically ventilated NICU patients carry a high risk of increased ICP and hemodynamic complications and should be performed restrictively. Higher values of hemoglobin and hematocrit prior to IHT were associated with less complications with regard to ICP, CPP as well as hemodynamic and pulmonary events and could be helpful to assess the potential risk of complications prior to IHTs.
