    Abstract Background: To examine the association between external ventricular drain (EVD) placement, critical care utilization, complications, and clinical outcomes in hospitalized adults with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
    Methods: A single-center retrospective study included SAH patients 18 years and older, admitted between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2022. The exposure variable was EVD. The primary outcomes of interest were (1) early mortality (<72 h), (2) overall mortality, (3) improvement in modified-World Federation of Neurological Surgeons (m-WFNSs) grade between admission and discharge, and (4) discharge to home at the end of the hospital stay. We adjusted for admission m-WFNS grade, age, sex, race/ethnicity, intraventricular hemorrhage, aneurysmal cause of SAH, mechanical ventilation, critical care utilization, and complications within a multivariable analysis. We reported adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
    Results: The study sample included 1346 patients: 18% (n = 243) were between the ages of 18 and 44 years, 48% (n = 645) were between the age of 45-64 years, and 34% (n = 458) were 65 years and older, with other statistics of females (56%, n = 756), m-WFNS I-III (57%, n = 762), m-WFNS IV-V (43%, n = 584), 51% mechanically ventilated, 76% White (n = 680), and 86% English-speaking (n = 1158). Early mortality occurred in 11% (n = 142). Overall mortality was 21% (n = 278), 53% (n = 707) were discharged to their home, and 25% (n = 331) improved their m-WFNS between admission and discharge. Altogether, 54% (n = 731) received EVD placement. After adjusting for covariates, the results of the multivariable analysis demonstrated that EVD placement was associated with reduced early mortality (aOR 0.21 [0.14, 0.33]), an improvement in m-WFNS grade (aOR 2.06 [1.42, 2.99]) but not associated with overall mortality (aOR 0.69 [0.47, 1.00]) or being discharged home at the end of the hospital stay (aOR 1.00 [0.74, 1.36]). EVD was associated with a higher rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia (aOR 2.32 [1.03, 5.23]), delirium (aOR 1.56 [1.05, 2.32]), and a longer ICU (aOR 1.33 [1.29;1.36]) and hospital length of stay (aOR 1.09 [1.07;1.10]). Critical care utilization was also higher in patients with EVD compared to those without.
    Conclusions: The study suggests that EVD placement in hospitalized adults with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with reduced early mortality and improved neurological recovery, albeit with higher critical care utilization and complications. These findings emphasize the potential clinical benefits of EVD placement in managing SAH. However, further research and prospective studies may be necessary to validate these results and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing clinical outcomes in SAH.

    Abstract Background: Electronic health records (EHR) contain large volumes of unstructured free-form text notes that richly describe a patient's health and medical comorbidities. It is unclear if perioperative risk stratification can be performed directly from these notes without manual data extraction. We conduct a feasibility study using natural language processing (NLP) to predict the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification (ASA-PS) as a surrogate measure for perioperative risk. We explore prediction performance using four different model types and compare the use of different note sections versus the whole note. We use Shapley values to explain model predictions and analyze disagreement between model and human anesthesiologist predictions.
    Methods: Single-center retrospective cohort analysis of EHR notes from patients undergoing procedures with anesthesia care spanning all procedural specialties during a 5 year period who were not assigned ASA VI and also had a preoperative evaluation note filed within 90 days prior to the procedure. NLP models were trained for each combination of 4 models and 8 text snippets from notes. Model performance was compared using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and area under the precision recall curve (AUPRC). Shapley values were used to explain model predictions. Error analysis and model explanation using Shapley values was conducted for the best performing model.
    Results: Final dataset includes 38,566 patients undergoing 61,503 procedures with anesthesia care. Prevalence of ASA-PS was 8.81% for ASA I, 31.4% for ASA II, 43.25% for ASA III, and 16.54% for ASA IV-V. The best performing models were the BioClinicalBERT model on the truncated note task (macro-average AUROC 0.845) and the fastText model on the full note task (macro-average AUROC 0.865). Shapley values reveal human-interpretable model predictions. Error analysis reveals that some original ASA-PS assignments may be incorrect and the model is making a reasonable prediction in these cases.
    Conclusions: Text classification models can accurately predict a patient's illness severity using only free-form text descriptions of patients without any manual data extraction. They can be an additional patient safety tool in the perioperative setting and reduce manual chart review for medical billing. Shapley feature attributions produce explanations that logically support model predictions and are understandable to clinicians.

    Abstract Introduction: Patients with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (tICH) are at increased risk of venous thromboembolism and may require anticoagulation. We evaluated the utility of surveillance computed tomography (CT) in patients with tICH who required therapeutic anticoagulation.
    Methods: This single institution, retrospective study included adult patients with tICH who required anticoagulation within 4 weeks and had a surveillance head CT within 24 hours of reaching therapeutic anticoagulation levels. The primary outcome was hematoma expansion (HE) detected by the surveillance CT. Secondary outcomes included 1) changes in management in patients with HE on the surveillance head CT, 2) HE in the absence of clinical changes, and 3) mortality due to HE. We also compared mortality between patients who did and did not have a surveillance CT.
    Results: Of 175 patients, 5 (2.9%) were found to have HE. Most (n = 4, 80%) had changes in management including anticoagulation discontinuation (n = 4), reversal (n = 1), and operative management (n = 1). Two patients developed symptoms or exam changes prior to the head CT. Of the 3 patients (1.7%) without preceding exam changes, each had only very minor HE and did not require operative management. No patient experienced mortality directly attributed to HE. There was no difference in mortality between patients who did and those who did not have a surveillance scan.
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that most patients with tICH who are started on anticoagulation could be followed clinically, and providers may reserve CT imaging for patients with changes in exam/symptoms or those who have a poor clinical examination to follow.

    Abstract We investigate whether general-domain large language models such as GPT-4 Turbo can perform risk stratification and predict post-operative outcome measures using a description of the procedure and a patient's clinical notes derived from the electronic health record. We examine predictive performance on 8 different tasks: prediction of ASA Physical Status Classification, hospital admission, ICU admission, unplanned admission, hospital mortality, PACU Phase 1 duration, hospital duration, and ICU duration. Few-shot and chain-of-thought prompting improves predictive performance for several of the tasks. We achieve F1 scores of 0.50 for ASA Physical Status Classification, 0.81 for ICU admission, and 0.86 for hospital mortality. Performance on duration prediction tasks were universally poor across all prompt strategies. Current generation large language models can assist clinicians in perioperative risk stratification on classification tasks and produce high-quality natural language summaries and explanations.

    Abstract Background: The prevalence, characteristics, and outcomes related to the ventilator-associated event(s) (VAE) in neurocritically ill patients are unknown and examined in this study.
    Methods: A retrospective study was performed on neurocritically ill patients at a 413-bed level 1 trauma and stroke center who received three or more days of mechanical ventilation to describe rates of VAE, describe characteristics of patients with VAE, and examine the association of VAE on ventilator days, mortality, length of stay, and discharge to home.
    Results: Over a 5-year period from 2014 through 2018, 855 neurocritically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation were identified. A total of 147 VAEs occurred in 130 (15.2%) patients with an overall VAE rate of 13 per 1000 ventilator days and occurred across age, sex, BMI, and admission Glasgow Coma Scores. The average time from the start of ventilation to a VAE was 5 (range 3-48) days after initiation of mechanical ventilation. Using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definitions, VAEs met criteria for a ventilator-associated condition in 58% of events (n = 85), infection-related VAE in 22% of events (n = 33), and possible ventilator-associated pneumonia in 20% of events (n = 29). A most common trigger for VAE was an increase in positive end-expiratory pressure (84%). Presence of a VAE was associated with an increase in duration of mechanical ventilation (17.4[IQR 20.5] vs. 7.9[8.9] days, p < 0.001, 95% CI 7.86-13.92), intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (20.2[1.1] vs. 12.5[0.4] days, p < 0.001 95% CI 5.3-10.02), but not associated with in-patient mortality (34.1 vs. 31.3%. 95% CI 0.76-1.69) or discharge to home (12.7% vs. 16.3%, 95% 0.47-1.29).
    Conclusions: VAE are prevalent in the neurocritically ill. They result in an increased duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay, but may not be associated with in-hospital mortality or discharge to home.

    Abstract Background and objective: There is no report of the rate of opioid prescription at the time of hospital discharge, which may be associated with various patient and procedure-related factors. This study examined the prevalence and factors associated with prescribing opioids for head/neck pain after elective craniotomy for tumor resection/vascular repair. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on adults undergoing elective craniotomy for tumor resection/vascular repair at a large quaternary-care hospital. We used univariable and multivariable analysis to examine the prevalence and factors (pre-operative, intraoperative, and postoperative) associated with prescribing opioids at the time of hospital discharge. We also examined the factors associated with discharge oral morphine equivalent use. Results: The study sample comprised 273 patients with a median age of 54 years [IQR 41,65], 173 females (63%), 174 (63.7%) tumor resections, and 99 (36.2%) vascular repairs. The majority (n = 264, 96.7%) received opioids postoperatively. The opiate prescription rates were 72% (n = 196/273) at hospital discharge, 23% (19/83) at neurosurgical clinical visits within 30 days of the procedure, and 2.4% (2/83) after 30 days from the procedure. The median oral morphine equivalent (OME) at discharge use was 300 [IQR 175,600]. Patients were discharged with a median supply of 5 days [IQR 3,7]. On multivariable analysis, opioid prescription at hospital discharge was associated with pre-existent chronic pain (adjusted odds ratio, aOR 1.87 [1.06,3.29], p = 0.03) and time from surgery to hospital discharge (compared to patients discharged within days 1−4 postoperatively, patients discharged between days 5−12 (aOR 0.3, 95% CI [0.15; 0.59], p = 0.0005), discharged at 12 days and later (aOR 0.17, 95% CI [0.07; 0.39], p < 0.001)). There was a linear relationship between the first 24 h OME (p < 0.001), daily OME (p < 0.001), hospital OME (p < 0.001), and discharge OME. Conclusions: This single-center study finds that at the time of hospital discharge, opioids are prescribed for head/neck pain in as many as seven out of ten patients after elective craniotomy. A history of chronic pain and time from surgery to discharge may be associated with opiate prescriptions. Discharge OME may be associated with first 24-h, daily OME, and hospital OME use. Findings need further evaluation in a large multicenter sample. The findings are important to consider as there is growing interest in an early discharge after elective craniotomy.

    Abstract Introduction: The exposure of anesthesiologists to organ recovery procedures and the anesthetic technique used during organ recovery has not been systematically studied in the United States.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on all adult and pediatric patients who were declared brain dead between January 1, 2008, and June 30, 2019, and who progressed to organ donation at Harborview Medical Center. We describe the frequency of directing anesthetic care by attending anesthesiologists, anesthetic technique, and donor management targets during organ recovery.
    Results: In a cohort of 327 patients (286 adults and 41 children), the most common cause of brain death was traumatic brain injury (51.1%). Kidneys (94.4%) and liver (87.4%) were the most common organs recovered. On average, each year, an attending anesthesiologist cared for 1 (range: 1 to 7) brain-dead donor during organ retrieval. The average anesthetic time was 127±53.5 (mean±SD) minutes. Overall, 90% of patients received a neuromuscular blocker, 63.3% an inhaled anesthetic, and 33.9% an opioid. Donor management targets were achieved as follows: mean arterial pressure ≥70 mm Hg (93%), normothermia (96%), normoglycemia (84%), urine output >1 to 3 mL/kg/h (61%), and lung-protective ventilation (58%).
    Conclusions: During organ recovery from brain-dead organ donors, anesthesiologists commonly administer neuromuscular blockers, inhaled anesthetics, and opioids, and strive to achieve donor management targets. While infrequently being exposed to these cases, it is expected that all anesthesiologists be cognizant of the physiological perturbations in brain-dead donors and achieve physiological targets to preserve end-organ function. These findings warrant further examination in a larger multi-institutional cohort.

    Abstract We examined the associations between the Neurological Pupillary Index (NPi) and disposition at hospital discharge in patients admitted to the neurocritical care unit with acute brain injury (ABI) due to acute ischemic stroke (AIS), spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and traumatic brain injury (TBI). The primary outcome was discharge disposition (home/acute rehabilitation vs. death/hospice/skilled nursing facility). Secondary outcomes were tracheostomy tube placement and transition to comfort measures. Among 2258 patients who received serial NPi assessments within the first seven days of ICU admission, 47.7% (n = 1078) demonstrated NPi ≥ 3 on initial and final assessments, 30.1% (n = 680) had initial NPI < 3 that never improved, 19% (n = 430) had initial NPi ≥ 3, which subsequently worsened to <3 and never recovered, and 3.1% (n = 70) had initial NPi < 3, which improved to ≥3. After adjusting for age, sex, admitting diagnosis, admission Glasgow Coma Scale score, craniotomy/craniectomy, and hyperosmolar therapy, NPi values that remained <3 or worsened from ≥3 to <3 were associated with poor outcomes (adjusted odds ratio, aOR 2.58, 95% CI [2.03; 3.28]), placement of a tracheostomy tube (aOR 1.58, 95% CI [1.13; 2.22]), and transition to comfort measures only (aOR 2.12, 95% CI [1.67; 2.70]). Our study suggests that serial NPi assessments during the first seven days of ICU admission may be helpful in predicting outcomes and guiding clinical decision-making in patients with ABI. Further studies are needed to evaluate the potential benefit of interventions to improve NPi trends in this population.

    Abstract Background: We report adherence to 6 Anesthesiology Performance Improvement and Reporting Exchange (ASPIRE) quality metrics (QMs) relevant to patients undergoing decompressive craniectomy or endoscopic clot evacuation after spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH).
    Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we describe adherence to the following ASPIRE QMs: acute kidney injury (AKI-01); mean arterial pressure < 65 mm Hg for less than 15 minutes (BP-03); myocardial injury (CARD-02); treatment of high glucose (> 200 mg/dL, GLU-03); reversal of neuromuscular blockade (NMB-02); and perioperative hypothermia (TEMP-03).
    Result: The study included 95 patients (70% male) with median (interquartile range) age 55 (47 to 66) years and ICH score 2 (1 to 3) undergoing craniectomy (n=55) or endoscopic clot evacuation (n=40) after sICH. In-hospital mortality attributable to sICH was 23% (n=22). Patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class 5 (n=16), preoperative reduced glomerular filtration rate (n=5), elevated cardiac troponin (n=21) and no intraoperative labs with high glucose (n=71), those who were not extubated at the end of the case (n=62) or did not receive a neuromuscular blocker given (n=3), and patients having emergent surgery (n=64) were excluded from the analysis for their respective ASPIRE QM based on predetermined ASPIRE exclusion criteria. For the remaining patients, the adherence to ASPIRE QMs were: AKI-01, craniectomy 34%, endoscopic clot evacuation 1%; BP-03, craniectomy 72%, clot evacuation 73%; CARD-02, 100% for both groups; GLU-03, craniectomy 67%, clot evacuation 100%; NMB-02, clot evacuation 79%, and; TEMP-03, clot evacuation 0% with hypothermia.
