Succinylcholine-induced hyperkalemia has been reported to occur in many neurological disorders including subarachnoid hemorrhage. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of succinylcholine on serum potassium levels in patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms undergoing either early
A prospective study was carried out on 10 patients who were submitted to intracranial aneurysm clipping and who had bled some days before the operation. All patients received a precurarization dose of pancuronium (0.01 mg/kg) and lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg) during the preinduction and succinylcholine (1
OBJECTIVE
To report a new manifestation of the rare connective tissue disorder arterial tortuosity syndrome in the absence of skin and soft-tissue abnormalities and with bilateral, giant fusiform intracranial aneurysms.
METHODS
Case report.
METHODS
University teaching hospital.

A 67-year-old
Since our initial experience on April 28, 1989, a total of nine patients have received treatment for giant cerebral aneurysm using cardiopulmonary bypass with deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. The following data summarize our findings associated with these patients. The average patient's age
We tested the hypothesis that low hemoglobin levels are associated with acute seizures after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).Patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms were enrolled in the observational cohort study that prospectively collected A 55-year-old woman underwent emergency cerebral aneurysm clipping for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Her past and family history was unremarkable. Preoperative blood examinations were within normal ranges except for a slight decrease in serum potassium level. ECG showed a prolonged QTc interval
The aim of the study is to investigate the value of serum iron and hemoglobin levels for predicting acute seizures following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).Clinical and laboratorial data from patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms were Vasoconstrictor activity was examined in serial samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from 10 patients undergoing aneurysm clipping within 48 hours after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). There was no close relationship between vasoconstrictor activity in postoperative CSF samples and the
We have previously shown the safety and efficacy of University of Wisconsin solution for hypothermic preservation of the human donor heart in a pilot group of 16 transplant recipients. The present study is a randomized clinical trial comparing University of Wisconsin solution to conventional
BACKGROUND
It is crucial to predict and prevent re-bleeding from ruptured intracranial aneurysms in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). During the prehospital period and on arrival to the hospital, blood glucose and serum potassium levels, as well as changes in levels of consciousness were
Although its status as a neuroprotectant is controversial, etomidate is often employed for pharmacologic cerebral protection in aneurysm surgery. One purported advantage of etomidate over thiopental is its hemodynamic stability. This study examined the cardiovascular effects of etomidate given for
Cat cortical arterioles were exposed in vivo to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from four patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Pial arteriolar caliber was measured by the television image-splitting technique. There was a consistent vasoconstrictive response
1. When a cerebral aneurysm ruptures, bleeding and clot formation occur around the surface of the brain, including several major blood vessels. The resulting condition, known as subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), often results in death or severe disability and is a significant cause of stroke. Delayed
1. Despite extensive research no explanation has been put forward to account for the fact that cerebral arterial spasm complicates the course of disease of many but not all patients suffering from rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. Although vasoactive material in hemorrhagic cerebrospinal fluid
Isolated human superficial temporal arteries were constricted by the addition of potassium, norepinephrine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine. Different responses occurred when the vessels were taken from patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm and from patients without cerebral aneurysm. In the aneurysm
