Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Hematoma expansion rate 24 hours after onset

    The number of cases with enlarged hematoma after re-examination of head CT after 24 hours

    24 hours of onset

  • 90-day Modified Rankin Rating Scale score;

    Modified Rankin Rating Scale score at 90 days after discharge,0-3 indicates good prognosis, 4-6 indicates poor prognosis, and 6 indicates death.

Study Arms (4)

Stereotactic intracranial hematoma puncture treatment group

Check the CT slice of the patient's brain, find out the patient's largest hematoma level, measure the coordinates of the puncture center, locate and mark the skull surface according to the measured coordinates, select the puncture point under the stereotaxic instrument, Mainly avoid important blood vessels, nerves and functional areas. Use an electric drill to drill the puncture needle into the center of the hematoma, and slowly aspirate the hematoma from the side hole until the suction stops when there is resistance. The residual hematoma in CT and the location of the drainage tube were determined, and the position of the puncture needle was adjusted for the situation of brain CT. After the operation, according to the re-examination of cranial CT, urokinase was injected into the hematoma cavity through the drainage tube to dissolve the residual hematoma, and the operation process strictly followed aseptic operation.

Procedure: Stereotactic intracranial hematoma puncture

drug treatment group

General treatment: Based on high-level nursing care and close and continuous attention to the patient's vital signs, the patient is instructed to stay in bed continuously, give oxygen, and instruct the patient to avoid emotional agitation, etc. ②Special treatment: use hemostatic drugs, control blood pressure to prevent rebleeding, control blood sugar, control body temperature, anti-epilepsy, prevent infection, dehydration and lower intracranial pressure, etc. Multisystem complications such as tract hemorrhage should be actively managed.

decompressive craniectomy treatment group

Prior to the procedure, all patients obtained endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia following the informed consent provided by their family members. Upon identifying the hematoma's location through CT imaging, the surgeon made a linear or horseshoe-shaped incision on the scalp and subsequently opened the dura mater after creating a bone flap. The hematoma was punctured using a brain needle, allowing for effective decompression. The cerebral cortex was incised along the cerebral gyri, facilitating the separation of brain tissue to eliminate residual hematoma. Once hemostasis was ensured within the operative area, a silicone drainage tube was inserted, and the cranial bone flap was restored to its original position. In cases of severe brain edema or cerebral herniation, bone flap decompression was performed.

Procedure: decompressive craniectomy

Neuroendoscopic treatment group

The patient's preoperative CT and MR imaging data were fused with a neuronavigation system to avoid important functional areas and select the closest point of the hematoma to the cortex as the location point. Routine craniotomy was performed with a 2\*3 cm bone window, the puncture direction was repositioned by neuronavigation, the sheath was placed at the center of the hematoma, the core was removed, the endoscope was gradually aspirated, and the bleeding was stopped with electrocoagulation if there was considerable active bleeding. A drainage tube was placed, the bone flap was reset after surgery, and the scalp was sutured.

Procedure: Neuroendoscopic

Interventions
