Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Critical Care Medicine

Context:

  • Vasospasm is a severe complication following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), leading to significant mortality and morbidity.
  • Effective management involves monitoring, preventing secondary brain injuries, and targeted therapies.

Purpose:

  • To review current and experimental therapies for managing cerebral vasospasm after SAH.
  • To highlight the importance of timely and aggressive intervention.

Summary:

  • Standard care includes 3-H therapy (hypervolemia, hypertension, hemodilution, hyperdynamism) to enhance brain perfusion, though it has systemic complications.
  • Calcium channel blockers like nimodipine improve outcomes, with parenteral administration being superior.
  • Emerging treatments and interventional radiology offer further options for refractory cases.

Impact:

  • Aggressive and timely management of vasospasm can reduce associated morbidity by threefold.
  • Understanding treatment options is crucial for improving patient outcomes after SAH.
