Conditions

Spontaneous Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Brief summary

To assess the feasibility of a new brain tissue probe for multi-parameter neuromonitoring (NeMo Probe) and the accuracy of measurement values. To demonstrate the ability of the NeMo probe to detect changes in cerebral hemodynamics and oxygenation during cerebrovascular events monitored with established methods including brain tissue oxygenation tension and microdialysis

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To assess the feasibility of the neuromonitoring system and accuracy of the measurement valuesDay 90 after Removal of Medical DeviceFeasibility: User acceptance rate in comparison to conventional probes for ICP-monitoring. The following parameters will be analysed: * Incidence of concerns of users in relation to the installation of the NeMo System * Incidence of concerns of users in relation to the function of the NeMo System Incidence of concerns of users in relation to the removal of the NeMo System * User-friendliness with a 3-graded scale (equal, better, worse) compared to conventional probes for ICP monitoring Accuracy of measurement values: Results from repeated measurements of mttICG, CBV, and CBF. Safety endpoints: -Adverse events profile (including adverse device effects): Incidence of complications (infections, brain tissue damage, hemorrhage) in comparison to historical series (conventional probes for ICP-monitoring):
