Minimally invasive surgery and neurophysiological monitoring for brainstem hemorrhage: Advancing predictive models with qEEG and TCD.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Primary brainstem hemorrhage (PBSH) is a life-threatening neurological condition associated with high mortality and disability rates. Stereotactic hematoma aspiration surgery has been explored as a treatment option, and postoperative brainstem function monitoring is considered important for patient management.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the integration of minimally invasive stereotactic aspiration surgery with quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) and transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring to assess brain function and improve predictive models for clinical outcomes in PBSH patients.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective analysis of 34 PBSH patients admitted between December 2022 and October 2023. After applying exclusion criteria, 25 eligible
