Abstract WP430: Utility of Prolonged Transcranial Doppler Monitoring in the Detection of Vasospasm and Stroke after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Is 10 days enough?
Abstract:Background:
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring is commonly used to identify cerebral vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) though its utility after day 10 has been questioned. The objective of our study was to determine the frequency of vasospasm by TCD in SAH patients who underwent prolonged monitoring (beyond day 10).
Methods:
We retrospectively identified all SAH patients seen at Emory University Hospital in 2011 who underwent T… Show more
