This is an observational study in neurocritical care units at University of California San Francisco Medical Center (UCSFMC), Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFGH), and Duke University Medical Center. In this study, the investigators will primarily use the monitor mode of the Transcranial Doppler (TCD, non-invasive FDA approved device) to record cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) signals from the Middle Cerebral Artery and Internal Carotid Artery. TCD data and intracranial pressure (ICP) data will be collected in the following four scenarios. Each recording is up to 60 minutes in length. Multimodality high-resolution physiological signals will be collected from brain injured patients: traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhage, liver failure, and ischemic stroke. This is not a hypothesis-driven study but rather a signal database development project with a goal to collect multimodality brain monitoring data to support development and validation of algorithms that will be useful for future brain monitoring devices. In particular, the collected data will be used to support: Development and validation of noninvasive intracranial pressure (nICP) algorithms. Development and validation of continuous monitoring of neurovascular coupling state for brain injury patients Development and validation of noninvasive approaches of detecting elevated ICP state. Development and validation of approaches to determine most likely causes of ICP elevation. Development and validation of approaches to detect acute cerebral hemodynamic response to various neurovascular procedures.

Determinants of Incident Stroke Cognitive Outcomes and Vascular Effects on RecoverY

Ischemic StrokeIntracerebral Hemorrhage5 more

The overall goal of the DISCOVERY study is to better understand what factors contribute to changes in cognitive (i.e., thinking and memory) abilities in patients who experienced a stroke. The purpose of the study is to help doctors identify patients at risk for dementia (decline in memory, thinking and other mental abilities that significantly affects daily functioning) after their stroke so that future treatments may be developed to improve outcomes in stroke patients. For this study, a "stroke" is defined as either (1) an acute ischemic stroke (AIS, or blood clot in the brain), (2) an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH, or bleeding in the brain), (3) or an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH, or bleeding around the brain caused by an abnormal bulge in a blood vessel that bursts). The investigators hypothesize that: The size, type and location of the stroke play an important role in recovery of thinking and memory abilities after stroke, and pre-existing indicators of brain health further determine the extent of this recovery. Specific stroke events occurring in individuals with underlying genetic or biological risk factors can cause further declines in brain heath, leading to changes in thinking and memory abilities after stroke. Studying thinking and memory alongside brain imaging and blood samples in patients who have had a stroke allows for earlier identification of declining brain health and development of individualized treatment plans to improve patient outcomes in the future.

Stent-assisted Coiling vs Coiling Only on the Treatment of Ruptured Intracerebral Aneurysm (NCRIA-1)...

Aneurysmal Subarachnoid HemorrhageComplication1 more

Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is the most common and acute cerebrovascular disease, usually associated with a high mortality and morbidity, and with a 30% increased risk of re-rupture and a 50% increased risk of death from re-rupture. The early stage of brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage is usually accompanied by complications such as delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), rebleeding, hydrocephalus, and other organ damage, of which DCI is the most common complication in patients with SAH, accounting for about 30%, often directly determining the functional outcome of patients with aSAH. Most clinically present with no other cause of neurologic deficit 4 to 14 days after bleeding, a decrease in GCS score of 2 points and lasting >1 hour, or a new well-circumscribed low-density focus on computed tomography that is absent immediately after surgery. Since the reversible nature of vasospasm after bleeding allows DCI to be reversible or develop into cerebral infarction, predicting DCI after aSAH within the time window is critical, which is of great significance for guiding antivasospasm and other clinical treatments and improving prognosis. Hence, it is urgently to predict secondary complications and functional outcome after aSAH, which plays an important role in recognizing low and hish-risk patients. It is of great significance to guide stepdown unit and reduce medical cost of patients in intensive care unit.

Brain PERfusion Evaluation by Contrast-Enhanced UltraSound

Cerebral HemorrhageSubarachnoid Hemorrhage3 more

The objective of the study is to assess brain tissue perfusion by contrast-enhanced ultrasound perfusion imaging (PerCEUS) in acute brain injuries. More precisely, it aims : to evaluate the heterogeneity of brain perfusion and thus diagnose brain tissue hypoperfusion with contrast-enhanced ultrasound. to correlate contrast-enhanced ultrasound with perfusion measurements by usual multimodal monitoring.

Osmotic Therapy for Patients With Severe Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Subarachnoid HemorrhageTraumatic

The goal of this prospective multi-center observational study is to learn about the osmotic therapy in severe subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • whether the two osmotic therapy, 20% mannitol and 10% hypertonic saline(HTS), under the same osmotic equivalent, has similar influence on the outcome of SAH patients? Participants will be given proper treatment according to local expert consensus, including the choice of osmotic medicine. Investigators just record and analyse the data, compare mannitol group and HTS group to see if the outcome of latter is not worse than the former.

Characteristics of Signal Intensity Gradient in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage After Aneurysmal Rupture...

Aneurysmal Rupture

10-20% of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage die before they arrive at the hospital, and about 25% die within 24 hours. About 1% of patients are diagnosed with cerebral aneurysms in imaging tests for health checkups, and many of them experience aneurysmal rupture during their lifetime, so it is not a rare disease. Wall shear stress is known to be a factor that reflects the state of blood vessels, and particularly plays an important role in the patency of the intima of blood vessels. In the meantime, computed fluid dynamics (CFD), a representative method for calculating wall shear stress, assumes a virtual rigid pipe and applies a preset value. This does not accurately reflect the physiological and dynamic state of the actual blood vessel. The investigators intend to measure the patient's wall shear stress using the SIG of the MRA-TOF technique, which reflects the physiological characteristics of individual patients, and to analyze the association with rupture of the intracranial aneurysm.

Comparison of Narcotrend and Cerebral Function Analysing Monitor in Intensive Care to Monitor Seizures...

Traumatic Brain InjurySubarachnoid Hemorrhage7 more

A study in the use of the Narcotrend depth of anaesthesia monitor to record a) seizures, and b) monitor a level of sedation referred to as 'burst suppression', in sedated patients in the adult and paediatric intensive care. Studies have shown that patients in coma on the intensive care unit may have subclinical in addition to clinical seizures. Subclinical seizures are seizures that do not show any outward signs and may go undetected. The current gold standard of recording seizures in the intensive care unit is by non-invasive, continuous monitoring of the electrical activity of the brain by electroencephalography (cEEG) using cerebral function analysing monitor (CFAM). This is recorded with simultaneous video recording and is performed by Clinical Neurophysiology departments. There has been a steady increase in demand for this service over recent years. Additionally, CFAM / cEEG is labour intensive and expensive. If trends continue, the proportion of hospitals offering CFAM / cEEG will continue to rise, creating increased demand for specialist staff, of which there are a finite number. Depth of anaesthesia monitors are used by anaesthetists to assess the level of anaesthesia in sedated patients using specialised, automated EEG analysis and are now recommended by NICE (DG6) to tailor anaesthetic dose to individual patients. This study aims to investigate the utility of the Narcotrend depth of anaesthesia monitor to monitor for seizures and burst suppression on the adult and paediatric intensive care unit. These monitors are cheaper and more widely available with the scope to be used at every bed space requiring neuro observation on the intensive care unit. The study aims to recruit all patients who are referred for CFAM / cEEG monitoring at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) Trust over a 12 month period. These patients will undergo simultaneous recording using CFAM / cEEG and depth of anaesthesia monitoring.

CT Perfusion Imaging to Predict Vasospasm in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Subarachnoid HemorrhageDelayed Cerebral Ischemia2 more

Patients with brain hemorrhage resulting from a ruptured aneurysm (SAH) are at risk of developing a condition called vasospasm, one or two weeks after their hemorrhage. This is a major cause of stroke and death following SAH. A special type of CT scan, called CT perfusion, analyzes regional blood flow in the brain. We hypothesize that CT perfusion scans performed on admission and day 6 post-hemorrhage will enable us to predict which patients will go on to develop vasospasm.
