Normobaric Hyperoxia Combined With Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Normobaric Hyperoxia Combined With Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Within 6-24 Hours of Symptom Onset

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficiency of normobaric hyperoxia combined with endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke patients with stroke onset 6-24 hours.

Inclusion Criteria:

• age≥18;
• Suspected lage vessel occlusion of acute anterior circulation occlusion; i.e. either the ICA or the M1/M2-segment of the MCA;
• Stroke symptom onset has been more than 6 hours but not more than 24 hours,and imaging confirmed the existenceof ischemic penumbra;
• NIHSS score≥6;
• Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS) of 6-10 on non- contrast CT;
• (Level of consciousness) NIHSS score of 0 or 1
• mRS score was 0-1 before stroke;
• Informed consent obtained;

Exclusion Criteria:

• Rapid improvement in neurological status to an NIHSS < 6 or evidence of vessel recanalization prior to randomization;
• Seizures at stroke onset;
• Intracranial hemorrhage;
• Systolic pressure greater than 185 mm Hg or diastolic pressure greater than 110 mm Hg, or aggressive treatment intravenous medication)necessary to reduce blood pressure to these limits;
• Symptoms rapidly improving;
• Symptoms suggestive of subarachnoid hemorrhage, even if CT scan was normal;
• Platelet count of less than 100,000 per cubic millimeter;
• CT showed a multiple infarction (low density area greater than 1/3 cerebral hemisphere);
• severe hepatic or renal dysfunction;
• active and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or acute respiratory distress syndrome;
• >3 L/min oxygen required to maintain peripheral arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2)#95% as per current stroke management guidelines;
• medically unstable;
• inability to obtain informed consent;
• Life expectancy<90 days;
• Pregnant or breast-feeding women;
• Unwilling to be followed up or poor compliance for treatment;
• Patients being enrolled or having been enrolled in other clinical trial within 3 months prior to this clinical trial;
• Evidence of intracranial tumor;
• Baseline blood glucose of < 50 mg/dL (2.78 mmol) or > 400 mg/dL (22.20 mmol);
