Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
enhancement of cerebral blood flow
increased blood flow through middle cerebral artery and basilar artery measured by transcranial doppler ultraound
one week
Study Arms (2)
ultrasoung guided stellate block
ACTIVE COMPARATORstellate ganglion will have ultrasound-guided block via bupivacaine for sympathectomy and enhancement of cerebral blood flow
nimodipine infusion
ACTIVE COMPARATORintravenous nimodipine will be given for enhancement of cerebral blood flow
Interventions
under aseptic conditions, using the ultrasound guidance, bilateral stellate ganglion block will be done using bupivacaine and betamethasone mixture, 8 ml volume will be given for each side
