SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE

This study tested whether giving a clot-busting drug directly into the brain's fluid spaces could save lives after a severe brain bleed caused by a burst aneurysm. Nineteen patients with heavy bleeding inside the brain's chambers received the treatment. The main goal was to see i…

This study tested whether a non-invasive device placed on the forehead (NIRS) can detect blood vessel spasms in the brain after a severe aneurysm rupture. Fifty patients were monitored continuously from day 4 to day 12 after their bleed. The goal was to see if this oxygen-measuri…

This study looked at hormone levels in 26 people within 48 hours of a brain bleed from a burst aneurysm. Researchers checked cortisol and thyroid hormones and did a stimulation test to see if the pituitary gland was working properly. They then tracked complications like rebleedin…

This completed study looked at 114 adults with a type of brain bleed called subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm. Researchers measured the optic nerve sheath on early CT scans to see if the size could predict whether a patient would survive for 6 months. The goal was …

This small pilot study tested whether a non-invasive eye scan called OCTA can detect changes in the brain related to stroke and other neurological conditions. Researchers compared eye scans from 7 people with brain diseases and healthy volunteers. The goal was to gather early dat…

This study observed how breathing machines (mechanical ventilation) are used in 2,299 brain-injured patients in intensive care units worldwide. Researchers collected data on different ventilation strategies and their link to patient recovery. No new treatments were tested; the go…

This study looked at 208 adults with severe brain injuries from bleeding or trauma. Researchers used a special monitor to track brain temperature and pressure together. The goal was to see if certain patterns could predict how well patients would recover 30 days later.

This study looked at whether doctors, nurses, or standard risk scores are better at predicting long-term recovery after a brain hemorrhage. Over 1,000 patients were followed for 6 months. The goal is to improve how we estimate outcomes for these serious conditions.

This study tested whether implanting special electrodes on the brain's surface can safely detect spreading depolarizations—electrical waves that may signal new damage after severe head trauma or brain hemorrhage. Twenty patients in intensive care received these electrodes alongsi…

This study followed 364 adults with severe stroke who needed a breathing machine in the ICU. Researchers measured their recovery and disability levels at 3 months and 1 year after ICU admission. The goal was to better understand what happens to these patients over time, not to te…

This study gathered brain monitoring data from 162 patients with serious brain injuries, such as traumatic brain injury or stroke. Using a noninvasive ultrasound device, researchers recorded blood flow signals to build a database. The goal is to develop algorithms that could one …

This study tested whether it is safe to get patients with severe brain injuries out of bed early in the intensive care unit. 22 patients were moved using a special device called the Sara Combilizer, and researchers measured brain oxygen levels and other vital signs. The goal was …
