Abstract |
The amino acid glutamate is one of the major neurotoxins in the pathogenesis of neuronal death after ischemia or trauma. Microdialysis studies in both man and animal have shown elevated extracellular levels after primary lesions. Monitoring of cerebral tissue oxygenation (p(ti)O2) has been used in recent years to detect and prevent episodes of low cerebral oxygenation, e.g. after trauma or subarachnoid hemorrhage. Intraoperative monitoring of p(ti)O2 combined with microdialysis in the peritumoral edema has been chosen to study the responses of glutamate and oxygen levels during resection. In 7/9 patients p(ti)O2 was below "critical" 10 mm Hg. Elevating inspiratory oxygen concentration to 100% led to an increase of p(ti)O2 by 2.5-4 fold and a decrease of glutamate and aspartate by 50-80%. A close correlation between p(ti)O2 and microdialysis glutamate levels was not clearly shown due to frequent intraoperative manipulations. |
