Can a simple facemask oxygen treatment prevent brain damage after a bleed?
NCT ID NCT07343232
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen through a facemask can help people who have had a brain aneurysm bleed and are breathing too fast, causing low carbon dioxide levels. About 80 adults with this condition will receive the oxygen treatment to see if it reduces the risk of delayed brain injury and improves recovery. The goal is to find a safe, simple way to prevent long-term disability.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age \> 18 years. 2. Confirmed diagnosis of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), with the presence of an aneurysm verified by computed tomography (CT), CT angiography (CTA), or digital subtraction angiography (DSA). 3. Hunt-Hess grade II-IV. 4. Presence of hypocapnia on arterial blood gas analysis, defined as PaCO2 \< 35 mmH; 5. PaO2 \> 90 mmHg. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of brain herniation or refractory intracranial hypertension, defined as a baseline intracranial pressure (ICP) \> 25 mmHg that responds poorly to conventional ICP-lowering therapy; 2. Primary respiratory diseases (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severe asthma) known to cause chronically elevated baseline PaCO2; 3. Severe acid-base disturbances other than respiratory alkalosis. 4. Severe cardiac insufficiency, severe hepatic or renal dysfunction, malignant tumors, or other severe comorbidities that significantly impact prognosis; 5. Before the onset of the disease, the mRS score was greater than 2, and there were other factors causing disability. 6. Life expectancy \< 3 months; 7. Any other condition deemed by the investigator to pose a high risk warranting exclusion.
