The goal of this observational study is to learn about the possibility to predict clinical course of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients by performing the retrospective analysis of clinical data available in early pre-vasospasm phase.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
An adequate timely prognosis of cerebral vasospasms and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) occuring after spontaneous aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH), is vitally essential to selecting an individualized and timely treatment strategy. Cerebral vasospasms (CV) occur in up to 70% of aSAH cases, and in two thirds of those cases DCI develops, thus increasing the mortality rate up to 50%. Every year up to 770 000 people suffer from aSAH and receive neurosurgical treatment. Because of a large amount of factors (blood leak volume and its distribution in the subarachnoid space, reactivity of cerebral blood vessels, biochemical blood composition and demographical factors) and their complex interactions to contribute the development of CV/DCI, currently there are no reliable methods and technologies allowing reliably prediction of the consequences of SAH.
For a more effective treatment of aSAH patients an innovative method for early warning of CV and DCI phenomena is offered. The method is based on identifying of the associations of different physiological modalities and prognostic factors with the SAH patients' outcome (factors the obtained from CT images analysis, numerical modelling of SAH evolution and multimodal cerebral hemodynamics monitoring).

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients | Patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage who received routine treatment (aneurysm clipping surgery, post operative care and multimodal monitoring in ICU). |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Computed Tomography (CT) and Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) | Radiation | CT and CTA examinations are performed as a routine procedure to evaluate SAH severity and to diagnose cerebral vasospams and delayed cerebral ischemia. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Cerebral vasospasms | Cerebral vasospasms are diagnosed by performing Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) according to reduced diameters of cerebral arteries. | CTA is performed routinely on 7th day after SAH or within period of 3-21 day after SAH if necessary |
| Delayed cerebral ischemia | Delayed cerebral ischemia is diagnosed by performing Computed Tomography (CT) | CT is performed routinely on 7th day after SAH or within period of 3-21 day after SAH if necessary |
| Patient outcome | Patients' outcome is evaluated according to Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS). GOS scores are: 1 - death, 2 - persistent vegetative state, 3 - severe disability, 4 - moderate disability, 5 - low disability | GOS is evaluated at discharge from hospital and after 30 days after SAH |

| Multimodal physiological monitoring | Diagnostic Test | Patients are monitored routinely during their treatment in ICU. Multimodal physiological monitoring include continuous monitoring of arterial blood pressure (ABP), intracranial pressure (ICP) (if available), ETCO2 (if available), cerebral perfusion pressure (if available), cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) measured in middle cerebral artery and heart rate. Non invasive CBFV will be measured by using TCD device DWL Multi Dop-T. Invasive ICP will be measured by using Codman ICP Express or Raumedic ICP monitor. |
