NCT02064075

Brief Summary

Purpose: \- Vasospasm and secondary ischemia following subarachnoidal hemorrhage considerably affect the clinical outcome. The purpose of this study is to determine whether crystalloid (Lactated Ringer's solution) or colloid (hydroxyethyl starch) intravenous infusion is more effective in the treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) Treatment: \- Patients are randomly divided into two groups. Depending on the blood pressure of the patients the members of the first group receive 15-50 ml/kg Lactated-Ringer's solution daily as part of the treatment, while the others 15 ml/kg Lactated-Ringer's and 15-50 ml/kg hydroxyethyl starch solution daily. Measurements:

  • Neurological status of patients will be determined by the NIH Stoke Scale Score and the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) on a daily basis.
  • The mid-term survival and quality of life are evaluated with Barthel Index and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) 14 and 30 days following admission to our clinic. Hypothesis:
  • The prevalence of vasospasms, the mortality rate and the medium-term quality of life following subarachnoid hemorrhage is improved if patients are treated with intravenous colloid (hydroxyethyl starch) infusion compared to intravenous crystalloid infusion.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The incidence of vasospasm

    The presence of vasospasm is assessed with the help of a transcranial doppler device. Vasospasm is diagnosed if the mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery is higher than 120 cm/s (centimeter/second)

    The presence of vasospasm is assessed daily between Day 1 and Day 14 in average (plus or minus 5 days) after SAH has occured

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • 30-day survival

    30 days after the incidence of SAH

  • Glasgow Outcome Scale

    30 days after the incidence of SAH

  • Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living

    30 days after the incidence of SAH

  • National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale

    30 days after the incidence of SAH

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Noradrenalin need

    30 days after the incidence of SAH
