Intracranial pressure monitoring in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage

ECG abnormalities in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage and intracranial tumours.

The incidence of and possible factors influencing ECG abnormalities were analysed in one patient group with subarachnoid haemorrhages (n = 406) and another with intracranial tumours (n = 400). The highest incidence of each ECG abnormality was always found in the patients with subarachnoid haemorrhages. In this group an ECG pattern, possibly attributable to the cerebral disease and comprising ab...

Effects of hypertonic saline on intracranial pressure variables in subarachnoid haemorrhage patients

Effects of subarachnoid haemorrhage on intracranial prostaglandins.

Prostaglandins E2, F2 alpha, 6 oxo F1 alpha and thromboxane B2 increased in cisternal CSF following mock subarachnoid haemorrhage in dogs, particularly PGE2 (X25.5). Concentrations were increased also in lumbar CSF of five patients some 8 days after subarachnoid haemorrhage. Subarachnoid haemorrhage did not alter the production of prostaglandins by dog whole cortex or choroid plexuses in vitro,...

Electrolyte changes in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage.

1. After spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage in man there is an acute rise in arterial blood pressure. Sodium balance studies were carried out on sixty-four patients with this syndrome and marked sodium retention was found to occur which did not appear to be correlated with a low glomerular filtration rate nor with any consistent change in aldosterone excretion. 2. Effective renal plasma flow ...
