Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate the effect of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block on ICP and arterio- jugular venous oxygen difference (AJVDO2) and jugular bulb oxygen saturation (SjVO2). Throughout this study, the efficacy of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block as scalp block in craniotomy operation will be assessed, and the effect of SPGB on cerebral hemostasis during craniotomy will be evaluated by monitoring of both ICP, AJVDO2 and SjVO2.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Intracranial Pressure

    ICP changes checked by a subdural ICP monitor that positioned after the first burr hole at the opposite side of the tumor immediately after induction of anesthesia. ICP monitoring will be conducted every 20 minutes until time of initial craniotomy and at time of closure of the dura.

    Every 20 minutes until time of initial craniotomy, then again after the dura was sutured.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation and cerebral arteriovenous oxygen content difference.

    Every 20 minutes throughout the operation period.

Study Arms (2)

Block group (A)

EXPERIMENTAL

26 patients who will be subjected to a neurosurgical intervention for removal of supratentorial brain tumor. Supratentorial brain tumors with shift of the mid-line \<10 mm evaluated by CT scan \[computerized tomography\] . SPGB will be performed using 2 % lidocaine before induction of anesthesia. The anesthesia induced by IV anesthetics and maintained by Isoflurane. ICP, Jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation, and AVDO2 will be assessed every 20 minutes.

Procedure: SPGB

control sham group (B)

SHAM COMPARATOR

26 patients who will be subjected to a neurosurgical intervention for removal of supratentorial brain tumor. Supratentorial brain tumors with shift of the mid-line \<10 mm evaluated by CT scan \[computerized tomography\] . SPGB will be performed using normal saline.The anesthesia induced by IV anesthetics and maintained by Isoflurane. ICP, Jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation, and AVDO2 will be assessed every 20 minutes

Procedure: SPGB

Interventions

SPGBPROCEDURE

Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block using 2% lidocaine in block group. Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block is performed by a hollow culture swab that is connected with a 21-gauge a syringe filled with three ml 2% lidocaine, inserted parallel to the floor of the nose until resistance is felt. The swab is at the posterior pharyngeal wall superior to the middle turbinate. The applicator was kept in the nostril for five to ten mins. The same procedure is done also in the second nostril SPGB using normal saline is performed in the control group

Also known as: Sphenopalatine ganglion block
Block group (A)control sham group (B)

Model Details: This study will be performed in the Neurosurgical operating room and included 52 patients allocated into two groups: the treatment group (block group) and the control group (non-block group). 26 patients enrolled in block group and 26 patients in non-block group. Intraoperative ICP monitoring by subdural ICP monitors will be done every 20 minutes in both block and non- block group. Jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation changes will be recorded every 20 minutes in block and non- block.
