Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients who meet all of the following criteria are eligible. 1. Patients aged between 18 and 85 at the time of informed consent 2. Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to cerebral aneurysm rupture 3. Aneurysm neck clipping or coil embolization was performed for ruptured cerebral aneurysm within 24 hours after onset and up to 4 days after onset 4. Patients who have obtained voluntary written consent from the patient and his/her legal representative to participate in this study (However, if the principal investigator or sub-investigator determines that the patient lacks the capacity to consent due to a disorder of consciousness, etc., only a representative legal representative will be allowed to consent.)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients who are not independent in daily life before onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage (modified Rankin Scale score 2 or higher) 2. Patients with the most severe subarachnoid hemorrhage (WFNS Grade V) 3. Patients with severe cardiac dysfunction (heart failure, arrhythmia, etc.) or renal dysfunction 4. Patients with hypersensitivity to drugs such as allergies 5. Pregnant women, possibly pregnant women, or breast-feeding patients 6. Patients who have participated in another clinical trial and are currently recieving therapeutic drugs in that clinical trial 7. Patients who are contraindicated for hydrocortisone administration, patients who have a history of hypersensitivity to the ingredients of this drug, and patients who are receiving desmopressin acetate hydrate (nocturia due to nocturia in men) 8. Patients who have been receiving corticosteroids before the onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage 9. Patients with acute myocardial infarction, bacterial or fungal infections for whom there are no effective antibiotics 10. In addition, patients who are judged to be inappropriate by the doctor in charge of each facility in this clinical study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Occurrence of symptomatic vasospasm within 14 days after subarachnoid hemorrhage

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Occurrence of asymptomatic cerebral vasospasm 2. Occurrence of delayed cerebral ischemia 3. Prognosis 6 months after onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage (evaluated by modified Rankin Scale score) 4. Changes in serum sodium/potassium levels for 14 days from the onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage 5. Changes in sodium metabolism-related hormones (ACTH, cortisol, AVP, BNP, renin, aldosterone) within 24 hours of onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage and on days 3, 7, and 12 of onset 6. Changes in daily infusion volume, sodium dose, urine volume, and urinary sodium/potassium excretion for 14 days from the onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage 7. Stratified analysis according to the combination therapy 8. Occurrence of complications Definition of complications: Occurrence of complications (lung disorder, heart disorder, gastrointestinal bleeding, electrolyte disorder, infection) from day 5 to day 15 of subarachnoid hemorrhage onset (during hydrocortisone administration)
