Craniocerebral Trauma

Types of Skull Fractures• Linear
– Simple, clean break; low velocity injuries
• Comminuted– Bone crushed to small, fragmented pieces;
high-impact injuries
• Depressed– Inward depression of bone fragments– Powerful blow; dura may or may not be intact
• Basilar– Base of skull– May be linear, comminuted, or depressed
![Page 6: Procedures Craniotomy Review. A & P Review Craniocerebral Trauma](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649de55503460f94adcafc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Pathophysiology: Hematoma
•Accumulation of blood in the subdural or epidural space
• Epidural vs Subdural
![Page 7: Procedures Craniotomy Review. A & P Review Craniocerebral Trauma](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649de55503460f94adcafc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Three types of hematomas: epidural, subdural, intracerebral

Pathophysiology
See prior slide: Acoustic Neuroma
Craniectomy also performed for:
Posterior Fossa Procedures, epidural or subdural removal, ventriculostomy, ICP Placement, or
stereotactic cranial procedures
![Page 33: Procedures Craniotomy Review. A & P Review Craniocerebral Trauma](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649de55503460f94adcafc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Surgical Intervention:Special Considerations
• Patient Factors– Hair removal and handling
• Room Set-up– Depending on position of patient, must strategically
place all equipment
– EMG, ESU units (mono and Bipolar, Headlights, microscope &/or loupes, CUSA, laser if used, 2 suctions, Mayfield table if used
• Anesthesia: General
![Page 34: Procedures Craniotomy Review. A & P Review Craniocerebral Trauma](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649de55503460f94adcafc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Surgical Intervention: Positioning & Prepping
• Position during procedure– Depends on tumor location– May be prone or semi-Fowler’s
• Supplies and equipment– 3-pt fixation device often used(Gardner-Wells or Mayfield)- pillows, pads, sheets, blankets, wide tape,Chest or axillary rolls
• Special considerations: high risk areas– Depends on position: bony prominences, axilla, genitals, eyes
• Prep: protect eyes and ears from prep solution– Once circulator scrubs, neurosurgeon often paints with iodophor and
alcohol
![Page 35: Procedures Craniotomy Review. A & P Review Craniocerebral Trauma](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649de55503460f94adcafc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

![Page 41: Procedures Craniotomy Review. A & P Review Craniocerebral Trauma](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649de55503460f94adcafc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Surgical Intervention: Procedure Steps

Counts
• Initial: Sponges, sharps
• First closing
• Final closing– Sponges– Sharps
![Page 43: Procedures Craniotomy Review. A & P Review Craniocerebral Trauma](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649de55503460f94adcafc/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Specimen & Care
• Identified as acoustic neuroma or as informed by surgeon
• Handled: usually routine
![Page 44: Procedures Craniotomy Review. A & P Review Craniocerebral Trauma](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649de55503460f94adcafc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Immediate Post op
• Remain sterile until the patient is safely out of OR• Managing the head while removing pin fixation
device takes much skill and care (not to drop!)—usually surgeon or anesthesia takes this on
• Multiple lines can be easily displaced upon transfer—extreme caution!
