Summary

In aSAH high levels of IL-6 (a pro-inflammatory cytokine) in the cerebrospinal fluid, as well as systemically have been linked to the severity grade and the occurrence of vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia caused by vasospasm as well as worse outcome independent of severity grade at time of admission and age. Increased levels of IL-6 increase the probability of unfavourable outcome, as well as the occurrence of delayed ischemic neurological deficit.

CytoSorb is an available, and certified medical device intended for use in conditions where elevated levels of cytokines such as IL-6 exist. Its clinical effect lies in the reduction of levels of pro-inflammatory mediators and thereby improving organ function as well as improving hemodynamic stability within hours of treatment initiation. Currently it is primarily used for the treatment of patients with confirmed or imminent respiratory failure who have either an acute lung injury, or acute respiratory distress syndrome, or a severe disease incl. respiratory failure, septic shock, and or multiple organ dysfunction/failure.

Until now, effective IL-6 removal in patients suffering from aSAH has not been possible in human and thus has not yet been evaluated. The purpose of this study is to see whether removal of IL-6 in patients with aSAH using CytoSorb is possible, and whether this alters the clinical course.

The overall goal of this study is to investigate whether a treatment with CytoSorb removes Interleukin 6 in patients with aSAH, and whether the treatment with CytoSorb alters the clinical course.

Conditions

  • Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage

Interventions

DEVICE

CytoSorb

The Study Product is CytoSorb. Patients included will receive a CytoSorb filter. The device has a CE-mark and is used in accordance with its CE-Certification. Patients are installed as early as possible after exclusion of the bleeding source and are treated with the CytoSorb Adsorber for 48 hours. Blood flow will be set at least 200 ml/min.
