NCT03831997

Brief Summary

This study aims to reduce the recurrence rate of chronic subdural hematomas (CSDH) by manipulating the post-operative intravenous fluid use. The hypothesis relies on the relationship between osmolality and volume changes related to osmolality. We will be administering dextrose 5% in 1/4 normal saline (D5 1/4NS) post-operatively to induce brain expansion which can take up the residual CSDH space, to help reduce recurrence rate.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Recurrence Rate

    We will see how many patients who are treated with D5 1/4NS have a recurrent episode of CSDH after their post-operative treatment.

    Within 120 days (+/- 7 days) of their initial burr-hole surgery.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of Volume Change of Residual CSDH Space

    24 (+/- 6 hours) hours post-operative.

Study Arms (2)

Historical Controls

The retrospective arm will consist of our control group, it will be derived from a retrospective medical chart review of all patients with CSDH at the facility.

Prospective Arm

The prospective arm of the study will be looking at the effects of Dextrose 5% W/ Sodium Chloride 0.225% on the recurrence rate defined by the need for secondary surgical intervention for residual/recurrent CSDH) of CSDH in a 3-month post-operative window.

Drug: Dextrose 5% W/ Sodium Chloride 0.225%

Interventions

D5 1/4NS is comprised of 5% dextrose in a 0.225% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. D5 1/4NS is initially slightly hypertonic to plasma, with an osmolarity of 321 mOSm/L. As the glucose component is rapidly metabolized, 0.225% NaCl solution remains and is hypotonic to plasma at an osmolarity of 77 mOsm/L. Because of the hypotonicity of the 1/4NS, it shifts into the intracellular compartments, followed by free water, and allows for volume expansion.

Also known as: D5 1/4NS

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

We will be recruiting patients (male, female; 18-60 years old) from our center, Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, that have been diagnosed with CSDH necessitating burr-hole evacuation who fit our inclusion and exclusion criteria.

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of chronic subdural hematoma (based on imaging)
  • Need for surgical intervention (assessed by attending neurosurgeon based on full neurological assessment)
  • The procedure of choice is burr hole drainage
  • Cessation of anti-coagulant therapy with accompanying normal lab values in appropriate time frames respective to the drug
  • Tolerance of supine position

You may not qualify if:

  • \<60 years old
  • Presence of acute hemorrhage, stroke, or parenchymal damage
  • Neurological deficits not accountable to mass effect
  • Hyponatremia or inherent electrolyte imbalances
  • Pregnancy or non-consentable patients
  • Previous neurological surgery up to 1 year before being considered for the study
  • Rapid re-expansion of brain observed intraoperatively by attending neurosurgeon
  • Congestive heart failure or other medical conditions precluding normal postoperative administration of IV fluids
  • Blood glucose levels \> 135 mg/dL
