Permanent Cerebral Oxymetry Monitoring for Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Delayed Vasospasm After...

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) monitoring and CT-scanner perfusion are useful but imperfect tools to identify vasospasm and allow intervention to avoid infarction. Permanent monitoring of cerebral tissue oximetry (rSO2) by NIRS, a noninvasive method could allow better vasospasm detection. This study will evaluate diagnostic accuracy of cerebral oxymetry (NIRS) -by rSO2 measurement - in order to detect vasospasm in patient with severe subarachnoid hemorrhage compare to standard monitoring tools.

The South London Stroke Register: Improving the Lives of Stroke Survivors With Data

StrokeSubarachnoid Hemorrhage1 more

The South London Stroke Register (SLSR) is an observational population based registry, combining a population incidence study of stroke events in a geographically defined area of South London and a cohort study of these patients followed up over time. The SLSR has been continually ongoing since January 1995 using the WHO ICD-10 definition of stroke. From April 2022, SLSR will use the new ICD-11 definition for case identification to establish a new prospective cohort of patients identified according to the new definition. Follow up of the existing retrospective cohort of current patients will continue, providing data on long term outcomes of stroke through a program of regular patient interviews up to 15 years after stroke. Outcome measures include health outcomes, such as stroke mortality and recurrence, and measures of activities of daily living, quality of life and mental health (cognition, anxiety, depression). The new data collection will include newly selected scales to best capture variation in key health domains and long term outcomes. The change to ICD-11 is expected to lead to an increase in the incidence of stroke and a reduction in the average severity, but the effects of this change have not yet been measured in any population internationally. There is a need for a high quality population-based stroke incidence study to address this gap. Similarly, the factors determining the health of long-term stroke survivors can only be understood using a long running observational cohort study. The overall purpose of this research is to continue and develop the SLSR data collection and analysis to address the needs of stroke patients in the 2020s. The current programme was funded to address the following objectives as part of a broader NIHR programme grant on using data to improve the lives of stroke survivors: Understand the impact of the ICD-11 new definition of stroke Define the outcomes and needs of long-term stroke survivors Support stroke survivors and stakeholders with these detailed data and analyses Describe the use of formal, informal, and social care services up to 15 years after stroke Asses the influence of formal, informal, and social care use on stroke recovery and generate patient-level total costs up to 15 years after stroke

Levosimendan as Treatment of Aneurysmal SubArachnoid Haemorrhage

Sub-arachnoid Haemorrhage

Sub-arachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) are often due to ruptured intracerebral aneurysms and are associated with an importante morbi-mortality. SAH are often complicated by delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) potentially due to cerebral vasospasm (CVS). A recent study showed that levosimendan, an inotropic and vasodilatory drug, could reduce the incidence of CVS and potentially improve patient outcome. In this pilot randomized controlled trial, we will evaluate the impact Levosimendan vs Placebo in SAH patient on the occurrence of CVS and DCI. Study population: adult patient admitted to ICU for aneurysmal SAH WFNS grade I-IV and mFisher 3-4. Intervention: Levosimendan (0.1 µg/kg/min) or placebo infusion at Day 1 and 8. Primary outcome: incidence of DCI or CVS at day 14 Duration of the study: 24 months Number of patients: 30 (15 patients per group) Number of center: 1

Multimodal Neuromonitoring

Subarachnoid HemorrhageIntracerebral Hemorrhage4 more

Theoretical Framework & Background Cortical spreading depressions (CSD) and seizures, are crucial in the development of delayed cerebral ischemia and poor functional outcome in patients suffering from acute brain injuries such as subarachnoid hemorrhage. Multimodal neuromonitoring (MMNM) provides the unique possibility in the sedated and mechanically ventilated patients to record these electrophysiological phenomena and relate them to measures of cerebral ischemia and malperfusion. MMNM combines invasive (e.g. electrocorticography, cerebral microdialysis, brain tissue oxygenation) and noninvasive (e.g. neuroimaging, continuous EEG) techniques. Additionally, cerebral microdialysis can measure the unbound extracellular drug concentrations of sedatives, which potentially inhibit CSD and seizures in various degrees, beyond the blood-brain barrier without further interventions. Hypotheses Online multimodal neuromonitoring can accurately detect changes in neuronal metabolic demand and pathological neuronal bioelectrical changes in highly vulnerable brain tissue. Online multimodal neuromonitoring can accurately detect the impact of pathological neuronal bioelectrical changes on metabolic demand in highly vulnerable brain tissue. The occurrence and duration of pathological neuronal bioelectrical changes are dependent on sedatives and antiepileptic drug concentrations The occurrence and duration of pathological neuronal bioelectrical changes have a negative impact on functional and neurological long-term patient outcome. Simultaneous invasive and non-invasive multimodal neuromonitoring can identify a clear relationship of both methods regarding pathological neuronal bioelectrical changes and metabolic brain status. Methods Systematic analysis of MMNM measurements following standardized criteria and correlation of electrophysiological phenomena with cerebral metabolic changes in all included patients. In a second step neuroimaging, cerebral extracellular sedative drug concentrations and neurological functional outcome, will be correlated with both electrophysiologic and metabolic changes. Due to numerous high-resolution parameters, machine learning algorithms will be used to correlate comprehensive data on group and individual levels following a holistic approach. Level of originality Extensive, cutting edge diagnostic methods are used to get a better insight into the pathophysiology of electrophysiological and metabolic changes during the development of secondary brain damage. Due to the immense amount of high-resolution data, a computer-assisted evaluation will be applied to identify relationships in the development of secondary brain injury. For the first time systematic testing of several drug concentrations beyond the blood-brain barrier will be performed. With these combined methods, we will be able to develop new cerebroprotective treatment concepts on an individual basis.

Optimal Cerebral Perfusion Pressure on the Outcome of aSAH Patients

Objectives: To investigate the impact of NIRS directed optimal cerebral perfusion pressure on the outcome of aSAH patients. Study design: A multicenter, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Setting: Departments of critical care medicine of tertiary hospitals in China. Patients: 150 aSAH patients (≥ 18 years old) who admitted to ICU (predicted ICU duration time ≥ 24 hours) Intervention: Patients with aSAH will be randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group. The control group will follow the SAH guidelines. The intervention group will be given continuous NIRS and invasive blood pressure monitoring at same time. The correlation curve between the brain oxygenation index or the brain hemoglobin index (ORI/THx) and the blood pressure will be obtained through continuous monitoring. According to the correlation curve, the optimal blood pressure will be determined which provides the optimal CPP. Then the goal of blood pressure (within 5 mmHg of CPPopt) will be maintained as the target of blood pressure management for the intervention group during ICU stay. Primary outcome: Neurological prognosis (GCS score,GOS score, and NIHSS score when discharge from ICU; GOS score at 6 months), etc. Predicted duration of the study: 2 years.

Subarachnoid HemorrhageAneurysmal5 more

An investigator-initiated clinical drug study Main Objective: To explore neuroprotective properties of xenon in patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Primary endpoint: Global fractional anisotropy of white matter of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Hypothesis: White matter damage is less severe in xenon treated patients, i.e. global fractional anisotropy is significantly higher in the xenon group than in the control group as assessed with the 1st magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After confirmation of aSAH and obtaining a signed assent subjects will be randomized to the following groups: Control group: Standard of Care (SOC) group: Air/oxygen and Normothermia 36.5-37.5°C; Xenon group: Normothermia 36.5-37.5°C +Xenon inhalation in air/oxygen for 24 hours. Brain magnetic resonance imaging techniques will be undertaken to evaluate the effects of the intervention on white and grey matter damage and neuronal loss. Neurological outcome will be evaluated at 3, 12 and 24 months after onset of aSAH symptoms Investigational drug/treatment, dose and mode of administration: 50±2 % end tidal concentration of inhaled xenon in oxygen/air. Comparative drug(s)/placebo/treatment, dose and mode of administration: Standard of care treatment according to local and international consensus reports. Duration of treatment: 24 hours Assessments: Baseline data Information that characterizes the participant's condition prior to initiation of experimental treatment is obtained as soon as is clinically reasonable. These include participant demographics, medical history, vital signs, oxygen saturation, and concentration of oxygen administered. Acute data The collected information will contain quantitative and qualitative data of aSAH patients, as recommended by recent recommendations of the working group on subject characteristics, and including all relevant Common Data Elements (CDE) can be applied. Specific definitions, measurements tools, and references regarding each SAH CDE can be found on the weblink here: https://www.commondataelements.ninds.nih.gov/SAH.aspx#tab=Data_Standards.

S100B Kinetic During the Occurrence and Treatment of Delayed Cerebral Ischaemia After a Subarachnoid...

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Nearly half of the survivors of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) retain irreversible neurological damage resulting from the early lesions associated with the initial bleeding, and the occurrence of possible delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI). The early diagnosis of the occurrence of an DCI is therefore a major challenge in order to optimise management before irreversible lesions are formed. However, the means of diagnosis are often not available, and up to a third of DCI are discovered on follow-up images when the lesions are already present. Among the markers of brain injury, S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) is an astrocyte protein released into the bloodstream at the time of the appearance of a brain lesion. Its short half-life makes it a prime candidate for patient follow-up to diagnose a new ischemic lesion and assess the effectiveness of its management. Among the elements at the origin of DCI, the occurrence of proximal vasospasm is the main element on which we can have a therapeutic action. The strategy implemented in the department consists of performing a mechanical angioplasty when proximal vasospasm is detected with a decrease in downstream cerebral perfusion. Nevertheless the benefit of this therapeutic action is discussed and there is currently no early marker of the effectiveness of this procedure.
