Brief summary

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral Nimodipine and IV milrinone combination therapy for management of cerebral spasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Detailed description

after being informed about the study and potential risks. All patients giving written consent will be randomized by double-blind manner into 2groups each one containing 15 patients. Group 1(n =15 ):the patients will receive nimodipine (60 mg/4 hours) orally or via nasogastric tube In group 2(n =15 ): the patients will receive Oral Nimodipine (60 mg/4) will be given orally or in the gastric tube also from the first day of admission, then after the diagnosis of vasospasm is confirmed, start milrinone.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Concentration of transcutaneous cerebral mixed oxygen saturationevery 24 hours up to 1 weekby forehead bilateral interconnected adhesive probes

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of participants restore of the previous conscious level and motor state(Percentage of drug success)1 hour after administration of milrinone and 2 hours after administration of triple H therapyrestore of the previous conscious level and motor state
value of Glasgow coma scaleevery 24 hours up to total days of ICU and hospital staywith minimum scale vlue of 3 is the worst and maximum value of 16 indicate better outcome
Number of participants develop one of adverse eventsafter administration of the study drugs up to 30 dayshypotension ,bradycardia,hypotesion
Number of participants having cerebral infarction (cerebral infarction incidence)every 48 hours up to 1 weekdetected by computed tomography
mortality rate30 day after administration of the study drugsNumber of participants died within 30 day after administration of the study drugs
value of Modified Rankin scale3,6,12 monthes after drug administrationLevel 0: no symptoms Level 1: no significant disability, despite symptoms; able to perform all usual duties and activities Level 2: slight disability unable to perform all previous activities but able to look after own affairs without assistance Level 3: moderate disability; requires some help, but able to walk without assistance. Level 4: moderately severe disability; unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance Level 5: sever disability; bedridden, incontinent and requires nursing care and attention
Glasgow Outcome Scale3,6,12 monthes after drug administration1\. Dead: As a direct result of brain trauma, or … due to secondary complications or other complications 2. Vegetative State: Patients who remain unresponsive and speechless…. 3. Severe Disability: The The patient is conscious but needs the assistance of another person for some activities of daily living every day.…. 4. Moderate Disability: Such a patient is able to look after himself at home, to get out and about to the shops and to travel by public transport. However, some previous activities, either at work or in social life, are now no longer possible by reason of either physical or mental deficit…. 5. Good Recovery: This indicates the capacity to resume normal occupational and social activities, although there may be minor physical or mental deficits…social outcome should be included in the assessment here, such as leisure activities and family relationships..
