Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the validity of intraoperative evoked potential (EP) including motor evoked potential (MEP) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) as a biomarker for predicting neural function changes after thoracic spinal decompression (TSD) surgery.

Method

A consecutive series of 336 TSD surgeries were reviewed between 2010 and 2021 from four spine center. All patients with TSD were divided into 3 groups according to different intraoperative EP results: group 1, EP alerts; group 2, no obvious EP deterioration; group 3, EP improvement compared with baselines. The lower limb Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores (as well as early and long-term JOA recovery rate) were utilized to quantitatively assess pre- and postoperative neural function change.

Results

Among the 3 subgroups according to the different EP changes, the early JOA recovery rate (RR%) in the EP improvement group was significantly better than the other two groups (51.3 ± 58.6* vs. 27.5 ± 31.2 and 33.3 ± 43.1; p < 0.01) after 3-month follow-up. The mean MEP and SEP amplitude were from 116 ± 57 µV to 347 ± 71 µV (p < 0.01) and from 1.86 ± 0.24 µV to 2.65 ± 0.29 µV (p < 0.01) between spinal cord pre-decompression and post-decompression. Moreover, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that risk factors of EP improvement were duration of symptom (p < 0.001, OR 10.9) and Preop. neurologic deficit degree (p = 0.013, OR 7.46).

Conclusion

The intraoperative EP can predict postoperative neural function changes as a biomarker during TSD. Patient with EP improvement probably has better prognosis for early neural function recovery. The duration of symptom and preoperative neurologic deficit degree may be related to intraoperative EP improvement.

Knie-TEP: Kein Vorteil durch antibiotikahaltigen Knochenzement

29.05.2024 Periprothetische Infektionen Nachrichten

Zur Zementierung einer Knie-TEP wird in Deutschland zu über 98% Knochenzement verwendet, der mit einem Antibiotikum beladen ist. Ob er wirklich besser ist als Zement ohne Antibiotikum, kann laut Registerdaten bezweifelt werden.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

28.05.2024 Fehlerkultur Podcast

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
