Brain bleed patients: could the right IV fluid save more lives?
NCT ID NCT04043598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 320 adults who had a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage) to see if the type of IV fluid they receive affects their recovery. The goal is to find out if a fluid with a specific salt content can reduce dangerous complications like blood vessel spasms and brain swelling. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two common IV fluids, and researchers track their outcomes in the hospital.
