Effects of early lumbar cistern drainage of cerebrospinal fluid and combination of edaravone and nimodipine on vasospasm, intracranial pressure, inflammatory factors in traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage
Abstract:Purpose: To investigate the effect of early lumbar cistern drainage (LCD) of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and combination of edaravone and nimodipine on vasospasm, intracranial pressure (ICP), serum inflammation, S100 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (tSAH).
Methods: Treatment was administered to 136 patients divided into control group (n = 68) and study group (n = 68). Serum inflammation was determined by assessing the levels of tumor necrosis factor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
