Abstract

Background. Elective surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic must continue to prevent a backlog of surgical cases. Several institutions are implementing a COVID-19-free surgical pathway to minimize the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. This study aimed to assess the safety of patients undergoing surgery against hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections by implementing a COVID-19-free pathway. Methods. This study is cross-sectional of 572 patients who underwent elective surgery with a COVID-19-free pathway. All patients underwent two days of quarantine in the hospital for RT-PCR testing. A negative COVID-19 test result is valid within 48 hours before surgery, and all surgeries were performed in a non-COVID-19 operating room. Age, gender, ASA classification, type of anesthesia, surgery criteria, length of stay, and ICU admission were the baseline characteristics of the patients in this study. The outcome in this study was hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections after the patient underwent surgery based on COVID-19 symptoms during hospitalization and 14 days after discharge. Results. This study involved 303 males (53%) and 269 females (47%) with a mean age of 40.16 years ± 11.35 years (12 days–84 years). According to the ASA classification, 44 patients (7.7%) ASA I, 450 (78.7%) ASA II, 77 (13.4%) ASA III and 1 (0.2%) ASA 4. Major or complex surgery criteria accounted for 48% (277) of all surgeries. One hundred and fifty-seven patients (27,4%) underwent postoperative hospitalization for 0-3 days, 190 (33.3%) 4-7 days, and 225 (39.3%) had a length of stay ≥ 8 days. None of the patients showed postoperative COVID-19 symptoms. Three patients died postoperatively, but their deaths were not COVID-19 related. Fourteen days after discharge, eight patients (3%) had fever and cough but did not perform the RT-PCR test. These eight patients experienced clinical improvement and recovery. Conclusion. Implementing a COVID-19-free pathway provides safety for patients from hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Abstract

Postoperative intracranial haemorrhage is one of the most dangerous complications in cranial surgery, especially epidural haematoma although it is very rare with an incidence of 1.0%. The exact mechanism of occurrence is still unknown and with appropriate treatment can result in a good outcome. A 34-year-old female, 63 kg, who lost consciousness after extubation following resection of a meningioma in the parietooccipital region. In the recovery room, the patient regained consciousness and was transferred to the ICU for observation. The patient suddenly lost consciousness after 30 minutes in the ICU, reintubation was performed and a CT scan of the head showed an epidural hematoma after tumour resection. An emergency decompressive craniotomy was performed, with total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) combination of remifentanil 0.1 mcg/kg/min and thiopental 2 mg/kg/h, The operation lasted for one hour. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for seven days under mechanical ventilation. The patient was extubated on the eighth day and transferred to the ward on the following day. There are several causes of epidural hematoma after brain tumour resection, namely sudden decrease in ICP, massive CSF drainage, uneven ICP distribution, coagulopathy factors, and excessive pin fixation. Excessive loss of CSF during surgery causes displacement of the brain and creates negative pressure in the remote area. In this case, it is suspected that the sudden decrease in ICP caused traction on the meningeal blood vessels, so that the negative pressure made the dura pulled and caused extradural haematoma. Conclusion: Postoperative epidural haematoma is a serious and relatively rare complication but if treated promptly, will result in a favourable outcome.
