Vasospasm in intracerebral hemorrhage with ventricular involvement: a prospective pilot transcranial Doppler sonography study.

Vasospasm Surveillance With Transcranial Doppler Sonography in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

The use of transcranial Doppler monitoring for the diagnosis of vasospasm in subarachnoid hemorrhage is backed by national guidelines. However, it remains poorly used across neurologic intensive care units in the United States. This current practice article uses 2 clinical vignettes to illustrate the simplicity and logic behind routine daily surveillance of vasospasm with transcranial Doppler s...

Differentiation between intracerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke by transcranial color-coded duplex-sonography.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The differential diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhage versus ischemic stroke has critical implications for stroke management. Transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) has been shown to identify intracerebral hemorrhages and intracerebral vessel occlusions. We conducted this study to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of TCCS in this differential diagnosis ...

Non-detection of Acute Angiography-induced Cerebral Vasospasm by Transcranial Doppler Sonography amongst Patients with Subarachnoid Haemorrhage in Kelantan.

Follow-up of Vasospasm by Transcranial Doppler Sonography (TCD) in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH)

INTRODUCTION Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)represents hemorrhage in the space between arachnoidea and pia mater, due to aneurysm burst, spontaneously or as a consequence of trauma. It is condition that occurs more common in women than men, and its most common complications are rebleeding and vazospasm. As a result of vasospasm, develops ischemia in the portion of brain tissue that can cause addi...

Using of transcranial Doppler sonography to guide triple-H therapy in cerebral vasospasm associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage

Prophylactic triple-H therapy (the combination of induced hypertension, hypervolemia, and hemodilution) has been suggested to prevent cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) that would cause increased cerebral blood flow (CBF) to the brain, and widely accepted in a number of institutions. It must be noted that triple-H therapy is not completely safe, sometimes carries significant...
