Primary research question: For adults surviving spontaneous (non-traumatic) symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage with persistent/paroxysmal atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF), does starting full treatment dose oral anticoagulation (OAC) result in a beneficial net reduction of all serious vascular events compared with not starting OAC? Trial design: Investigator-led, multicentre, randomised, open, assessor-masked, parallel group, clinical trial of investigational medicinal product (CTIMP) prescribing strategies. Investigators plan for a pilot phase, followed by a safety phase.

Carbonic Anhydrase Antagonism in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Acute Cerebrovascular AccidentVasospasm

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) can occur commonly in the setting of trauma or brain aneurysm. SAH accounts for 10% of all the strokes. Aneurysmal SAH accounts for 80 % of cases of non-traumatic cases of SAH, 6-8% of all strokes and 22-25% of all cerebrovascular deaths. Mortality can be 50% in the first few years of aneurysmal SAH rupture, 15% are severely disabled post SAH and only 20-35% having a moderate to good recovery it has gained lot of attention and pre-clinical and clinical trials of various agents have been tried to prevent poor outcome. The United States epidemiology data reveals the fact that 1% to 5% of adults have unruptured brain aneurysm and 30,000 people suffer from aneurysm rupture annually translating to brain aneurysm rupture every 18 minutes. Vasospasm is the most common SAH complication post 24 hours. It is the segmental or diffuse narrowing of the vessels especially the large vessels. Fifty percent of those patients who develop clinical vasospasm, progress to infarction and 15-20% will advance to disabling stroke or die of cerebral ischemia. The present treatment modalities are insufficient to prevent vasospasm. So, we need new treatment modalities to decrease the mortality and morbidity in SAH patients. The investigators hypothesize that Acetazolamide administration can prevent development of vasospasm after aneurysmal SAH.

Non-invasive Brain Pressure Monitoring After Trauma or Hemorrhage

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH)

Introduction: Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is considered to be the most important intracranial mechanism causing secondary injury in patients admitted after acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) and intracranial haemorrhage (ICB) including subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Currently, ICP can be measured and monitored only using invasive techniques. The two ICP measurement methods available - intraventricular and intraparenchymal - require both a neurosurgical procedure in order to implant the catheter and probes within the brain. The invasiveness of current methods for ICP measurement limits the diagnoses reliability of many neurological conditions in which intracranial hypertension is a treatable adverse event. A reliable, accurate and precise non-invasive method to measure ICP would be of considerable clinical value, enabling ICP measurement without the need of a surgical intervention. Aim: The aim of this study is to validate a novel non-invasive ICP measurement device by comparing its measurement with the "gold standard" invasive ICP-measurement by intracranial probe. The device used in this study has been been developed in the Telematic Science Laboratory at the Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania. Methods: The non-invasive ICP measurement method will be assessed prospectively using repeatable simultaneous non-invasive and invasive (standard with intracranial probe) ICP measurements on patients presenting with TBI and SAH. The device method is based on two-depth transcranial doppler (TCD) technique for simultaneously measuring flow velocities in the intracranial and extracranial segments of the ophthalmic artery (OA). The intracranial segment of the OA is compressed by ICP and the extracranial segment of the OA is compressed by the pressure Pe externally applied by the device. Two-depth TCD device is used as an accurate indicator of the balance point (Pe = ICP) when the measured parameters of blood flow velocity waveforms in the intracranial and extracranial segments of OA are identical. The device has the same ultrasound transmission parameters as existing TCD devices and meets all patient safety criteria.

Intensive Management of Pressure and Volume Expansion in Patients With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

The purpose of our study is to determine how well Triple-H works and how safe it is. The investigators are hoping to determine the effects of starting the therapy early and to explore if hypervolemia and/or hypertension are beneficial, and what the optimal target ranges are.

Comparison of Neuroprotection by Propofol and Desflurane for POCD Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage...

Postoperative Cognitive Function

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is characterized by the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm and accumulation of blood in the subarachnoid space with 30 to 40% mortality rate. Amongst the survivors 40-50% suffers disability due to cognitive decline.Trends towards early surgery offers challenge to anesthesiologist to provide optimum brain relaxation and simultaneously maintaining stable hemodynamics. Anesthetic agents are administered to conduct smooth neurosurgical procedure. These agents may affect patient's cognitive function postoperatively.Currently most common anesthetic agents used are either intravenous hypnotic agents (propofol) or volatile inhalational agents (isoflurane/sevoflurane/desflurane). Provision of neuroprotection with propofol and volatile inhalational agents has been studied by various authors.Not many studies have been performed in patients undergoing aneurysmal clipping surgeries looking into effects of various anesthetic agents on intraoperative (I/O) brain condition, I/O hemodynamic and POCD.Thus present study is planned to compare propofol and desflurane for long term postoperative cognitive decline in patients undergoing surgery following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Subarachnoid HemorrhageRuptured Intracranial Aneurysm

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose study investigating the safety and efficacy of NA-1 in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) undergoing endovascular repair of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Up to 300 male and female patients with SAH undergoing endovascular repair of a ruptured intracranial aneurysm will be dosed with 2.60 mg/kg of NA-1 or placebo as a 10 minute intravenous infusion after completion of the endovascular procedure on Day 1 of the study period. Subjects will undergo interim procedures at Day 2-4, Day 30-45, and end-of-study procedures on Day 90.

Eicosapentaenoic Acid Cerebral Vasospasm Therapy Study

Subarachnoid HemorrhageCerebral Vasospasm

Cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality. Recent studies indicate that Rho-kinase play an important role in the occurrence of such cerebral vasospasm. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) inhibits sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC)-induced Rho-kinase activation in vitro. So this study examines whether EPA prevents cerebral vasospasm occurrence after SAH in patients.
