About this study

Rapid recovery from neuroanesthesia and early neurological examination are desirable in most cases.(1)Although, Systemic and cerebral hemodynamic changes caused by extubation and emergence from anesthesia may endanger neurosurgical patients and increase the risk of postoperative intracranial hemorrhage and cerebral edema and may even result in the requirement of reoperation.(2) During this phase, heart rate and arterial blood pressure increase leading to increases in cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure.(3) Some studies have reported such hemodynamic effects in up to 50% of patients after supratentorial craniotomy.(4,5) Replacing the endotracheal tube (ETT) with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) prior to emergence from anesthesia is safe and effectively reduces the cardiovascular response.(6) The potential protective benefit of this approach has not yet been demonstrated for awakening neurosurgery patients, however.

Magnesium is the forth most abundant cation in the body and the second most abundant intracellular cation. It activates many of the enzyme systems.(7) Magnesium sulphate inhibits catecholamines release from adrenergic nerve terminals and from adrenal medulla, through blocking N-type of Ca-channel at peripheral sympathetic nerve ending so it is used to decrease the adverse cardiovascular effects during larygeoscopy and endotracheal intubation.(8) But its role in attenuating stress response during extubation is not well studied and need more research.

Treatment and study plan

Laryngeal mask airway

Device

After obtaining approval of the ethics committee of Kasr Al Ainy Hospitals and informed written consents from the patients, this study will be performed on 20 patients in Kasr Al Ainy Hospitals with ASA physical status I, II and ages between 18 and 60 years undergoing undergoing supratentorial tumours excision under general anesthesia

Magensium sulphate

Drug

After obtaining approval of the ethics committee of Kasr Al Ainy Hospitals and informed written consents from the patients, this study will be performed on 20 patients in Kasr Al Ainy Hospitals with ASA physical status I, II and ages between 18 and 60 years undergoing undergoing supratentorial tumours excision under general anesthesia

Control group (closure of anesthetics)

Other

After obtaining approval of the ethics committee of Kasr Al Ainy Hospitals and informed written consents from the patients, this study will be performed on 20 patients in Kasr Al Ainy Hospitals with ASA physical status I, II and ages between 18 and 60 years undergoing undergoing supratentorial tumours excision under general anesthesia

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean arterial blood presure

    Time frame: 5 minutes from closure of anesthetics until 15 minutes after extubation

    Total dose of nitroglycerin needed in each group to maintain mean blood pressure within 20 % of basal line.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Intracranial pressure Measurement

    Time frame: 1 and 10 minutes after extubation.

    Intracranial pressure will be measured at these moments: basal line preinduction, end of surgery, before extubation and 1, 10 minutes after extubation.

  2. Quality of extubation

    Time frame: Time Onset of cough immediately after extubation

    Qualityof extubation will be evaluated based on cough immediately after extubation, using a five point rating scale

  3. Level of consciousness

    Time frame: 5 and 15 minutes after extubation

    consciousness level will be recorded based on Ramasy score scale at 5 and 15 minutes after extubation, using the following indices

  4. End of surgery and extubation

    Time frame: intraoperative

    Time interval between end of surgery and extubation in each group
