Neuroprotective Treatment Strategies for Delayed Cerebral Ischemia after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage – Review of Literature and Future Prospects
نویسنده
چکیده
Delayed ischemic neurological deficit (DIND) and delayed cerebral infarction (DCI) are the most important postoperative risk factors for poor outcome after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) [1]. Aneurysmal SAH is associated with a total mortality of estimately 50% including patients who die before admission to a hospital. In spite of new diagnostic tools, modern intensive care therapy and early aneurysm occlusion, the in-hospital mortality has remained at 25% [2] A large part of the surviving patients does not recover their pre-hemorrhage state [3]. Thus, SAH causes great personal harm and a great economical burden to health systems.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has the highest morbidity and mortality rates of all types of stroke. Many aneurysmal SAH patients continue to suffer from significant neurological morbidity and mortality directly related to delayed cerebral ischemia. Pilot clinical studies of the use of Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA Reductase Inhibitors (statins) in aneurysmal SAH patients have reported a ...

Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) caused by a ruptured aneurysm accounts for only 5% of strokes, but occurs at a fairly young age and carries a worse prognosis. Delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) is an important cause of death and dependence after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. The current mainstay of preventing DCI is nimodipine and maintenance of normovolemia, but even with this strategy DCI...

Delayed cerebral ischemia occurs in about 30% of patients during the first 2 weeks after subarachnoid hemorrhage, and can result in substantial disability and death. Research studies investigating the incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia and strategies for prevention and treatment are hampered by inconsistent use of terminology and definitions for this complication, and by reliance on indirec...
