Study on head position and brain pressure withdrawn before starting
NCT ID NCT05604404
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to see how changing the head position affects pressure inside the skull in people who had a brain bleed from a burst aneurysm. It planned to monitor adults with a pressure monitor already in place. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage confirmed by CT scan, MRI, or cerebral angiogram * Age ≥ 18 years old * Patients with intracranial pressure monitoring device * Patients with continuous arterial blood pressure monitoring * The subject or legally authorized representative must be available and able to consent Exclusion Criteria: * Intubated patients who are prone * Patients with left ventricular ejection fraction \<20% as evidenced by echocardiogram previously documented at any time in the electronic medical record * Patients with a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension * Patients with a diagnosis of cirrhosis and/or evidence of liver failure. Evidence of liver failure will be assessed by the presence of ascites, edema, abnormal lab values including low albumin, elevated PTT, elevated PT, elevated INR, or elevated bilirubin without another etiology, or MELD score \>8. * Patients who are clinically unstable defined as those who are unable to lie flat for 30 minutes for any reason, patients on more than one continuous IV medications to increase blood pressure, or patients who are actively undergoing resuscitation.
