Abstract
In the pathogenesis of symptomatic vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), hyperactivity of the platelet, hypercoagulable state and impairment of cerebral microcirculation are considered to play important roles. The authors assess the incidence and clinical course fo symptomatic vasospasm in 88 aneurysmal patients with a uniform management protocol of antiplatelet, Ca blocking agent, and hypervolemic therapy. All patients received an antiplatelet agent (Ticlopidine) and a Ca blocking agent (Nicardipine) after surgery was performed within 48 hours following SAH. The flow velocity of the middle cerebral artery (MCA. FV) was measured after surgery by transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD), and when MCA. FV exceeded 120 cm/sec within seven days after SAH, hypervolemic therapy was started with albumin and Hetastarch. Nine patients (10%) developed characteristic signs and symptoms of symptomatic vasospasm in spite of these managements, but major neurological deficits from vasospasm occurred only in three patients (3%). In the total series, 70 patients (80%) had a good outcome and only five patients (5.7%) died of cardiac, pulmonary complication or sepsis. There were no fatal complications attributable to the antiplatelet agent, Ca? blocking agent or hypervolemic therapy.<BR>This management strategy may lower the incidence of death and disability from vasospasm after SAH.
