Brief summary
Traumatic subarachinoid hemorrhage is associated with serious complications related to mortality . Delayed neuronal ischemia and rebleeding are most common and serious. Progesterone can delay both .
Detailed description
Progesterone is an neurosteroid that can help integrity of blood brain barrier . Traumatic subarachinoid hemorrhage disrupts this blood brain barrier facilitating post traumatic vasospasm and neuronal ischemia. Transcranial doppler can detect cerebral vasoconstriction through resistive vasculer indices
