Résumé
Intra-operative internal carotid artery (ICA) injury during transnasal endoscopic surgery is a potentially catastrophic event. Such an injury is life-threatening in the immediate setting, with a reported peri-operative mortality rate of 10%. Nasal packing, muscle patches, direct vessel closure, and endovascular techniques have been described as useful strategies for managing ICA bleeds. The objective of this study was to develop a formalized management protocol for intra-operative ICA injury through engagement with a multi-disciplinary panel. A modified Delphi method including literature review, iterative rounds of stakeholder feedback, and expert panel discussions was used to develop a management protocol for ICA injury during transnasal endoscopic surgery. The 10-person multi-disciplinary panel included otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, interventional neuroradiologists, anesthesiologists, and operating room nursing staff. After three rounds of stakeholder engagement with the expert panel, consensus was reached on important elements to include within the protocol. The protocol was divided in three categories: Alert, Control, and Transfer. 'Alert' focusses on early communication with anesthesia and nursing staff. 'Control' focusses on techniques to expose the injury and obtain hemostasis or adequate tamponade. Lastly, 'Transfer' describes the process of contacting neuro-interventional radiology and safely transferring the patient. A one-page handout of the protocol was developed for placement in operating theatres. Due to the life-threatening nature of ICA injury, it is imperative that endoscopic sinus and skull base surgeons are prepared to manage this complication. Using a modified Delphi method with a multidisciplinary expert panel, a protocol for management of intra-operative ICA injury was developed.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Intra-operative internal carotid artery (ICA) injury during transnasal endoscopic surgery is a potentially catastrophic event. Such an injury is life-threatening in the immediate setting, with a reported peri-operative mortality rate of 10%. Nasal packing, muscle patches, direct vessel closure, and endovascular techniques have been described as useful strategies for managing ICA bleeds. The objective of this study was to develop a formalized management protocol for intra-operative ICA injury through engagement with a multi-disciplinary panel.
METHODS
METHODS
A modified Delphi method including literature review, iterative rounds of stakeholder feedback, and expert panel discussions was used to develop a management protocol for ICA injury during transnasal endoscopic surgery. The 10-person multi-disciplinary panel included otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, interventional neuroradiologists, anesthesiologists, and operating room nursing staff.
RESULTS
RESULTS
After three rounds of stakeholder engagement with the expert panel, consensus was reached on important elements to include within the protocol. The protocol was divided in three categories: Alert, Control, and Transfer. 'Alert' focusses on early communication with anesthesia and nursing staff. 'Control' focusses on techniques to expose the injury and obtain hemostasis or adequate tamponade. Lastly, 'Transfer' describes the process of contacting neuro-interventional radiology and safely transferring the patient. A one-page handout of the protocol was developed for placement in operating theatres.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Due to the life-threatening nature of ICA injury, it is imperative that endoscopic sinus and skull base surgeons are prepared to manage this complication. Using a modified Delphi method with a multidisciplinary expert panel, a protocol for management of intra-operative ICA injury was developed.
