Spinal fluid test could help doctors spot brain damage after bleeds
NCT ID NCT04998370
Summary
This study aimed to see if measuring hemoglobin (a protein from blood) in the spinal fluid could help doctors monitor for and predict secondary brain injury in patients who had a brain bleed from a burst aneurysm. Researchers observed 366 adult patients for 14 days after their bleed, collecting spinal fluid samples to check for links between hemoglobin levels and later brain complications. The goal was to validate this measurement as a useful monitoring tool, not to test a new treatment.
