Prehospital Deaths From Spontaneous Subarachnoid Haemorrhages
Subarachnoid HemorrhageIn this study we aim to determine the incidence of fatal spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage outside hospital. Also, we aim to investigate these patient´s pattern of contact to the health care system immediately before their death and to describe the circumstances under which they died.
Time to Specialized Admission in Case of Severe Brain Haemorrhage.
Spontaneous Subarachnoid HemorrhageSpontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhages (SAH) are a particularly severe type of stroke with a tendency to affect younger individuals than other types of stroke. The condition is time critical as early neurosurgical treatment is needed. The aim of this study is to determine the delay from when a patient with SAH calls the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to they are admitted to a neurosurgical department. Further, it is the aim to determine predictors for increased delay and to examine the accuracy of the triage tool used by the EMS.
Volumetric Integral Phase-shift Spectroscopy for Noninvasive Detection of Hemispheric Bioimpedance...
StrokeStroke10 moreThe purpose of this study is to assess the ability of the Fluids Monitor to detect hemispheric bioimpedance asymmetry associated with acute brain pathology in patients presenting with suspected Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS).
Presentation of Subarachnoid Haemorrhage
Subarachnoid HemorrhageIt is the primary aim of this study to identify symptoms and/or specific words (trigger words) indicative of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage (sSAH) during emergency telephone calls to the Emergency Medical Service Copenhagen (EMS). Further, it is the aim to determine the association between the symptoms/trigger words and sSAH, the sensitivity of the symptoms/trigger words and finally, to identify factors in the telephone visitation that may influence the level of activated prehospital response
Prolonged Vasospasm in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Subarachnoid HemorrhageVasospasm1 moreThe prevalence and clinical implications of prolonged cerebral vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage are unknown.
Global Impact of the COVID 19 Pandemic on Stroke Care, Cerebral Venous Thrombosis, and Subarachnoid...
StrokeA 1-year analysis of global selected stroke metric data will be conducted comparing the results during the Covid-19 pandemic to the pre-pandemic period. In most countries, this will correspond to March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021. In some countries, the pandemic period would be adjusted for onset of case surge (i.e. China pandemic start date would begin earlier, i.e. January 2020). The specific metrics that will be analyzed include: ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIA) hospitalizations intracranial hemorrhage hospitalizations cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) hospitalizations (with or without thrombocytopenia) CVT in-hospital mortality 4) aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage hospitalizations 5) mechanical thrombectomy 6) intravenous thrombolysis 7) ruptured aneurysm endovascular coiling 8) ruptured aneurysm clipping. 9) aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage admissions 10) SAH in-hospital mortality 11) SAH presentation by Hunt Hess Grade
Determinants of Rehabilitation Outcomes in Survivors of Primary Subarachnoid Haemorrhage
Subarachnoid HemorrhageSpontaneousA retrospective, observational single centre study of electronic medical records of discharged patients who were admitted to from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2018. Period of data collection was from 5 August 2019 to 15 September 2019.
The Role of Statins in Preventing Cerebral Vasospasm Secondary to Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Aneurysmal Subarachnoid HemorrhageDelayed ischemia caused by cerebral vasospasm remains a common cause of morbidity and mortality after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. A great deal of drugs has been tested in the last years. Phase II randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that statin decreases the incidence of symptomatic cerebral vasospasm after spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage. Clinical, double blind, randomized controlled trials with placebo. Discussion: Even though some articles have shown that statins provide better prognosis, some issues remain in debate, e.g., treatment duration and the choice of the statin.
Ventriculostomies in SAH: ICP Open or Not?
Subarachnoid HemorrhageThe purpose of this study is explore how cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage impacts outcomes for patients diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This is a non-randomized observational study of two physician-prescribed approaches to managing intracranial pressure monitoring and CSF drainage for SAH patients. The study will enroll only those patients who have intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring in situ. Because this is an observational study, there are no physical risks to the patient, the only risk is loss of confidentiality.
Epidemiology of Aeromedical Evacuation
ApoplexyFemoral Neck Fracture3 moreIncreasing air travel has resulted in a significant increase in aeromedical evacuation over the past decade. However there is only a small amount of epidemiological data available on the diagnosis, costs and transport characteristics of aeromedical evacuation cases. In the present study Cases of aeromedical evacuation by a relief organization (Workers' Samaritan Federation Germany) were analyzed based on the following criteria: age, sex and diagnosis of the patient, ventilation mode, days of illness before transport, type of transport, flight routes, flying time, flight distance, type of aircraft, type and distance of connecting transport from the destination airport to the final hospital, total cost per repatriation, and costs per flight-minute of each transport type.
