Background/aimsTo assess changes in optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) at high altitude and in acute mountain sickness (AMS).MethodsCochrane Library, EMBASE, Google Scholar and PubMed were searched for articles published from their inception to 31st of July 2020. Outcome measures were mean changes of ONSD at high altitude and difference in ONSD change between subjects with and without AMS. Meta-regressions were conducted to investigate the relation of ONSD change to altitude and time spent at that altitude.ResultsEight studies with 248 participants comparing ONSD from sea level to high altitude, and five studies with 454 participants comparing subjects with or without AMS, were included. ONSD increased by 0.14 mm per 1000 m after adjustment for time (95% CI: 0.10 to 0.18; p<0.01). Restricted cubic spline regression revealed an almost linear relation between ONSD change and time within 2 days. ONSD was greater in subjects with AMS (mean difference=0.47; 95% CI: 0.14 to 0.80; p=0.01; I2=89.4%).ConclusionOur analysis shows that ONSD changes correlate with altitude and tend to increase in subjects with AMS. Small study number and high heterogeneity are the limitations of our study. Further large prospective studies are required to verify our findings.

Abstract Background The results of studies on changes in intracranial pressure in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery are inconsistent. Meanwhile, previous neurosurgery studies have suggested that propofol and sevoflurane have inconsistent effects on cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular self-regulation. The purpose of this study is to compare changes in the optic nerve sheath diameter in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery under anesthetic maintenance with propofol versus sevoflurane. Methods This study included 110 patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery with an estimated operative time of more than 2 hours under general anesthesia. The study was a randomized controlled study. The optic nerve sheath diameter（ONSD）at various time points was measured by ultrasound, including when the patients entered the operating room (Tawake), after successful anesthesia induction and endotracheal intubation (Tinduction), when the body position was adjusted to the Trendelenburg position and the CO2 pneumoperitoneum pressure reached 14 mmHg, which was recorded as T0. Then, measurements were conducted every 15 minutes for the first 1 hour and then once every hour until the end of the surgery（T15,T30,T45 ,T1h ,T2h…）, after the end of surgery and the tracheal tube was removed (Tend), and before the patients were transferred to the ward (Tpacu).Results A significant difference in optic nerve sheath diameter was found between two groups at T15, T30, T45 (4.64±0.48mm and 4.50±0.29mm, respectively, p=0.031;4.77±0.45mm and 4.62±0.28mm, respectively, p=0.036;4.84±0.46mm and 4.65±0.30mm, respectively, p=0.012), while there was no significant difference at Tawake and other time points. Conclusion During laparoscopic gynecological surgery lasting more than 2 hours, the optic nerve sheath diameter was slightly larger in the propofol group than that in the sevoflurane group in the first 45 minutes. No significant difference was observed between the two groups 1 hour after surgery. Trial registration clinicaltrials.gov，NCT03498235.

ABSTRACT Background: Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) as measured by optic nerve sheath ultrasonography (ONSU) is used as a surrogate marker of intracranial pressure (ICP), especially in resource-limited settings. There is a growing interest in the use of ONSU in emergency and high-altitude setups. Notwithstanding multiple studies done on this subject, there is a paucity of data regarding standardization of techniques and comparison of ONSU with computed tomography (CT). Materials and Methods: Thirty-five patients with a diagnosis of high-altitude cerebral edema were enrolled in the study. ONSD was measured in all patients using ONSU, along visual and coronal axis, and CT scan. We repeated ONSU in these patients on days 3, 7, 10, and 15 (day of discharge). Correlation between visual and coronal axis as well as CT scan was analyzed. Results: The correlation of visual to coronal and coronal to visual was equally significant (both correlation coefficients being R 2 = 0.983). Correlation of ONSD by visual axis to CT scan was better than coronal axis (correlation coefficient R 2 = 0.986 vs. 0.96, respectively). Conclusion: In our study, we found a strong correlation between the visual and coronal axes. Thus, either of the two axes can be used for monitoring ICP. However, it has been found that measurements along the coronal axis are challenging, especially in the emergency setup. ONSD measured along visual axis correlated better with CT scan as compared to the coronal axis.

Conclusion During laparoscopic gynecological surgery lasting more than 2 hours, the optic nerve sheath diameter gradually increased with establishment of the CO2 pneumoperitoneum and patient placement in the Trendelenburg position in both sevoflurane group and propofol group and returned to baseline 1 hour after surgery.
