NIRS Directed Optimal Cerebral Perfusion Pressure on the Outcome of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Patients

150 participantsStarted 2021-09-01

Plain-language summary

Objectives: To investigate the impact of NIRS directed optimal cerebral perfusion pressure on the outcome of aSAH patients. Study design: A multicenter, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Setting: Departments of critical care medicine of tertiary hospitals in China. Patients: 150 aSAH patients (≥ 18 years old) who admitted to ICU (predicted ICU duration time ≥ 24 hours) Intervention: Patients with aSAH will be randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group. The control group will follow the SAH guidelines. The intervention group will be given continuous NIRS and invasive blood pressure monitoring at same time. The correlation curve between the brain oxygenation index or the brain hemoglobin index (ORI/THx) and the blood pressure will be obtained through continuous monitoring. According to the correlation curve, the optimal blood pressure will be determined which provides the optimal CPP. Then the goal of blood pressure (within 5 mmHg of CPPopt) will be maintained as the target of blood pressure management for the intervention group during ICU stay. Primary outcome: Neurological prognosis (GCS score，GOS score, and NIHSS score when discharge from ICU; GOS score at 6 months), etc. Predicted duration of the study: 2 years.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years; * Admitted to ICU because of aSAH. * Predicted to stay in ICU ≥ 24 hours * Provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Unable to perform NIRS monitoring because of anatomic factors; * Patients with severe organ failure; * In addition to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, there are other serious intracranial diseases (intracranial infection, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, brain trauma, other patients after intracranial surgery); * Patients with carotid plaque or thrombus; * Patients with severe intracranial pneumatosis after craniotomy.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
