Brain dysfunction following vasospasm evaluated by somatosensory evoked potentials

A Suzuki, N Yasui, Z Ito

    Acta Neurochirurgica
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) correlate with patient outcomes after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Early SEP changes may indicate the severity of ischemic brain dysfunction due to vasospasm.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Neurology
    • Clinical Neurophysiology

    Background:

    • Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) frequently leads to cerebral vasospasm, a major cause of secondary ischemic brain injury.
    • Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) are non-invasive electrophysiological measures reflecting the integrity of somatosensory pathways.

    Observation:

    • SEP were recorded in 9 patients diagnosed with vasospasm following SAH.
    • Clinical outcomes were assessed one month post-onset.
    • SEP changes were further evaluated under conditions of induced hypertension and dehydration.

    Findings:

    • A significant correlation was observed between alterations in SEP and the clinical outcome of patients at one month.
    • The study explored the nature of ischemic brain dysfunction resulting from vasospasm by analyzing SEP responses during induced hypertension and dehydration.
    • Findings suggest that the therapeutic window for induced hypertension might be limited in patients with severe clinical outcomes.

    Implications:

    • SEP monitoring can provide valuable prognostic information in patients with SAH-induced vasospasm.
    • Understanding the electrophysiological basis of ischemic dysfunction aids in refining treatment strategies for vasospasm.
    • This research highlights the potential limitations of interventions like induced hypertension in managing severe cases.
