Application Value of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Medical Technology in the Perioperative Management of Brain Gliomas: Impact on Anesthesia and Prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) medical technology in the perioperative management of brain gliomas and its impact on anesthesia and prognosis.

METHODS: An observational, retrospective comparative study was conducted. We selected 60 patients who underwent glioma resection at our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020. Patients were divided into two groups based on admission order: the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG), with 30 cases each. Patients in the CG underwent conventional intracranial tumor surgery, while those in the EG underwent supratentorial craniotomy for tumor resection with the assistance of MRI medical technology. We compared perioperative parameters, hemodynamic indices, tumor resection outcomes, postoperative complications, and postoperative physical function between the two groups.

RESULTS: Compared to the CG, the EG had significantly longer surgery preparation time, anesthesia time, and surgery time (P < .001). However, there were no significant between-group differences in infusion volume and intraoperative blood loss (P > .05). Postoperative hemodynamic indicators were significantly higher in the EG than in the CG (P < .001), and postoperative tumor volume was markedly smaller in the EG (P < .001). The EG also achieved a significantly larger volume of tumor resection and a higher tumor resection rate (P < .001), a significantly lower total incidence of postoperative complications (P < .05), and notably higher Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) scores (P < .001).

CONCLUSIONS: Compared to conventional intracranial tumor surgery, the utilization of MRI medical technology in brain glioma surgery, although it prolongs surgery and anesthesia times, enhances the tumor resection rate, and offers significant advantages in improving the prognosis of patients with brain glioma.
