Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

The Brain is a very complex system. It consists of nerves as well as fluids. The fluid in the Brain is called Cerebrospinal fluid. This is necessary as it forms a cushion that keeps the Brain and Spinal cord from accidental injury. It also delivers vital nutrients in the body and removes waste from the Brain. This liquid gets continuously absorbed by the bloodstream. Sometimes a problem in the brain can cause this fluid to rise and dip.

Normal Intracranial pressure should be between 5 to 15 mm Hg. The process to measure the spinal fluid is known as Intracranial pressure monitoring. This is the latest technology used by Brain surgeons to monitor the brain’s pressure level. This is performed by neurologists in special circumstances. In this ICP monitoring, a small pressure-sensitive probe is inserted in the skull. This helps in understanding the Brain’s fluid level.

In Intracranial pressure monitoring, an intraventricular catheter is inserted in the Brain through a small hole. This is a tube-like structure giving the accurate reading of spinal fluid. This helps the surgeon in deciding if the pressure in Brain is high or low.

Most neurosurgeons would recommend this only in certain special conditions like Brain Trauma or Brain tumour. It gives the most accurate Intracranial pressure at the time of the procedure itself. This plays an essential role in diagnosing and monitoring brain conditions.

The Intracranial pressure may vary if a person is sleeping. In some conditions, it may also change if the brain has a tumour.

This is not a usual technique but is rather much more efficient than the traditional methods. Most surgeons would recommend this only if;

1. Someone who has an elevated TBI without any reason. In this situation, a person will not have cerebral edema or intraventricular haemorrhage.

2. A person has a lesion in the back of the skull. This test diagnosis can confirm the presence of a tumour

3. A person has sudden undergone sudden brain trauma like an accident on the head.

In all these scenarios, The ICP level would read as 20 mm Hg. It helps neurosurgeons in giving the right line of treatment. It is done, before and after every brain surgery. ICP shows fluid level as higher than after the surgery. It is to check if decompressive craniectomy has lessened after the surgery.

It is the most used technique used by brain surgeons. It is a way to know that surgery is successful.

Neuronavigation

Neuronavigation

Today technology has evolved a lot. Computers have been used in the field of medicine and surgery as well. This has bettered the success rate of major surgeries like Brain surgeries. Brain is a very delicate organ which needs precise care. Sometimes the brain becomes afflicted with ailments like stroke and tumour. This needs a specific surgery to heal such ailments. Today it is possible to heal such major ailments with the utilisation of technology for performing surgeries.

One such latest technology is Neuro navigation. This is the technique used by the most Brain surgeons. In the long run it guarantees a successful and safe surgery. Neuro navigation is a computer assisted technology. This gives the real time mapping and reading of the Brain.

It helps in guiding the neurosurgeon during the surgery. This makes it the most essential technique for skull related surgery. Its best feature is that it helps in transforming the information into 3D data on the monitor. It allows surgeons to employ robotics to perform such delicate surgeries. At the same time, it also helps in visualising surgical scenarios before the surgery. This is done with the help of 3D model formation of Brain through the computer data.

These techniques have been used mostly in Brain related surgeries like Brain tumour removal. Sometimes it is hard to locate the tumour in the brain. The real time imaging feature helps in locating the exact place of tumour. It eases the process of removing it

Brain tumour removal

There is a view of the Brain on the screen in front of the surgeon. This guides them in removing the lesions precisely and accurately. The computer can also integrate the old MRI report. This ensures that brain tumour is removed successfully

It is no wonder then that most neurosurgeons prefer the use of Neuro navigation for conducting complicated surgeries.

There are other benefits of this surgery as well.

1. It is very precise in showing the exact location of the lesion in the Brain. This helps in finding even the smallest tumour.

2.The chances of scar are very little as the cut is small.

3. It quickens the wound healing process. The area of wound is usually very small hence it will get healed quickly.

4. It is highly successful due to its precision and location prowess.

Today nearly all top neurosurgeons prefer to use Neuro navigation. This guarantees the success of surgery.

Ultrasonic Aspirator

Ultrasonic Aspirator

This is the latest technology which is used a lot by surgeons today. An ultrasonic aspirator uses a low frequency ultrasonic vibration tool. It is the most advanced tool in the surgery which is employed in every surgery. This has a very specific use and works only on certain parts of the body.

An ultrasonic aspirator is a container-like machine. This container is unique from a normal container. An ultrasonic aspirator has a container which makes vacuum. This helps in reversing the air pressure through the air suction pump mechanism. This is the most suitable device for brain and skull surgeries.

Its uses:

Eye Surgery.

An eye surgery is a very delicate operation. It needs to be done in a very accurate and a precise manner. In eye surgery operative microscope has the optimum use. It helps in viewing the eye problem with precision. This is particularly useful in Cataract surgery. It is very hard to find cataracts in the eye. This microscope can aid in locating the cataract. After this cataract is removed safely without damaging the eye.

It is also used in corneal transportation and helps the surgeons in performing retinal surgery.

This makes Operative microscope most essential and vital for conducting a successful Eye surgery

Dentistry

Today Operative microscope has been used extensively in Dentistry as well. Teeth are very delicate and it needs fine detailing. This microscope helps in locating teeth ailments through magnifying it. A dental surgeon can then locate its exact location and remove ailments like root canal. It’s no wonder then that it is commonly used in root canal treatments today. This is the most preferred mode of Endodontic treatment. Dentists have access to even a small root canal without pain. It means a dentist has a clear view to remove the right tooth only.

There are some of the unparalleled benefits of using an Operative microscope.

– A Surgeon will always have the right view of the area on which surgery is to be performed.

– This is a painless and effective line of surgery for removing eye and teeth ailments completely.

– The recovery time is very less as it works on specific areas. Hence one can recover fully within a few days.

– A Surgeon will always have the right view of the area on which surgery is to be performed.

Today the operative microscope has evolved a lot since its invention. Hence it is an indispensable part of Surgery.

Operative Microscope

Operative Microscope

Today the use of microscopes is fairly common in surgeries. Most surgeons prefer to use it due to its precision. The microscopes for surgeries are different from a normal microscope. An operative microscope is an optical appliance used by most surgeons. This is a very special microscope. An operative microscope range can vary anything from 4x to 40x. This allows the surgeon to view small as well as large details during the surgery. It can be sterilized and disinfected after every use. This makes it unique and vital for most surgeons.

Its discovery has improved the endodontic non-surgical perforation. Today this microscope has been used in many surgeries. It helps in making these surgeries successful as well. It is used mostly in periradicular form of surgery. This is one microscope which can be used in anything from eye to dentist.
