Abstract
- Introduction: Perioperative stroke is a major complication of revascularization surgery in patients with moyamoya. Vomiting is common after neurosurgical procedures and may result in acute changes in intracranial pressure and cerebral blood flow. We instituted a standardized perioperative nausea and vomiting protocol for children and young adults with moyamoya undergoing indirect bypass surgery at our institution. Hypothesis: Instituting a standardized perioperative nausea and vomiting protocol will be associated with reduction in the number of perioperative strokes in children with moyamoya undergoing indirect bypass surgery. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive cases of children and young adults with moyamoya who underwent indirect bypass surgery before and after implementation of a new perioperative nausea and vomiting protocol. We compared the rate of strokes in the perioperative period (post-operative day 0 and 1) in the 41 months following implementation (155 surgically treated hemispheres) to 155 surgically treated hemispheres (over 30 months) prior to implementation using Fisher’s Exact test. Results: The mean age prior to implementation was 8.7 years (SD 5.5 years) and 9.9 years (SD 6.2 years) post implementation which was not significantly different (p=0.17). In the 30 months prior to initiation of the perioperative nausea and vomiting protocol there were 5 strokes in 155 surgically treated hemispheres (3.2%). After initiation of the protocol, there were no strokes in 155 surgically treated hemispheres (p = 0.03). Conclusions: Instituting a standardized perioperative nausea and vomiting protocol was associated with reduction in perioperative strokes in children with moyamoya treated with indirect bypass surgery.
