NCT01516671

Brief Summary

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with a high mortality and frequently leads to severe disability in survivors caused by cerebral vasospasm and infarction. This study aims to elucidate the role of neuroinflammation (endocannabinoids and cortisol levels in cerebrospinal fluid) in the pathophysiology of cerebral vasospasm and the value of the bilateral bispectral index (BIS) for the early diagnosis of cerebral vasospasm.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Concentrations of endocannabinoids and corticoids in cerebrospinal fluid and blood.

    Samples of cerebrospinal fluid and blood will be collected every day at 8am on hospital day 1-14 and the concentrations of the following substances will be determined: 1. Anandamide 2. 2-arachidonoylglycerol 3. 2-arachidonoylglycerol-ether 4. N-arachidonoyldopamine 5. N-arachidonylglycine 6. O-arachidonylethanolamide 7. Palmitoylethanolamide 8. Cortisol 9. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (in CSF only) 10. Corticosteroid-binding globulin (in blood only)

    Once per day from day 1 until day 14 after hospital admission

  • Bilateral Bispectral Index

    The Bispectral Index is calculated every second by the BIS Vista monitor. These data will be recorded continuously from 0:01 am until 23:59 pm.

    Every second from 0:01 am until 23:59 pm on hospital day 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Transcranial Doppler

    Every day at 8 am from day 1 until day 14 after hospital admission
