Analysis of Cerebral Spinal Fluid Drainage and Intracranial Pressure Peaks in Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

ConclusionsFindings indicate that effects of CSF drainage via EVD and LD differ. Higher amounts and higher proportions of LD volumes were associated with better outcomes, suggesting a potential quantity-dependent protective effect. Optimizing LD volume and mitigating ICP spikes may be a strategy to improve patient outcomes after aSAH.Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01258257.
