2012 AHA/ASA Guidelines for the Management of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage[1]
Management of Cerebral Vasospasm and DCI After aSAH: Recommendations
Class I |
"1. Oral nimodipine should be administered to all patients with aSAH† (Level of Evidence: A)" |
"2. Maintenance of euvolemia and normal circulating blood volume is recommended to prevent DCI (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"3. Induction of hypertension is recommended for patients with DCI unless blood pressure is elevated at baseline or cardiac status precludes it (Level of Evidence: B)" |
†It should be noted that this agent has been shown to improve neuroogical outcomes but not cerebral vasospasm. The value of other calcium antagonists, whether administered orally or intravenously, remains uncertain.
Class III (Harm) |
"1. Prophylactic hypervolemia or balloon angioplasty before the development of angiographic spasm is not recommended (Level of Evidence: B)" |
Class IIa |
"1. Transcranial Doppler is reasonable to monitor for the development of arterial vasospasm (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"2. Perfusion imaging with CT or magnetic resonance can be useful to identify regions of potential brain ischemia (Level of Evidence: B)" |
"3. Cerebral angioplasty and/or selective intra-arterial vasodilator therapy is reasonable in patients with symptomatic cerebral vasospasm, particularly those who are not rapidly responding to hypertensive therapy (Level of Evidence: B)" |
