Summary

Aim of this work is to evaluate the transcranial doppler in prediction of cerebral vasospasm in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and also to evaluate their advantages over clinical scales in predicting CV.

Conditions

  • Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial doppler

TCD examination was performed using DWL-EZ-Dop machine Compumedics GmbH, Singen, Germany. TCD utilizes low-frequency pulsed insonation (2 MHz) to measure blood flow velocity within proximal cerebral arteries, obtaining systolic and diastolic peaks and mean flow velocities (MFV). MFV is defined as (systolic + diastolic)/3 + diastolic velocities, according to Alexandrov et al.. Initial TCD examination was done after admission serving as a baseline state for cerebral circulation. Follow-up TCD examinations was done at fixed intervals on the first, third, fifth, seventh and tenth days of the onset of SAH.
