Association of Fluid Balance and Hemoglobin Decline With Neurological Outcome After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To explore the relationship between fluid balance and hemoglobin decline with secondary infarctions and neurologic outcome in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients.

Design

Secondary analysis of the Earlydrain trial, a prospective randomized controlled study investigating prophylactic lumbar drain use in aSAH patients.

Setting

Patients with aSAH treated in ICUs at 19 tertiary hospitals in Germany, Switzerland, and Canada.

Patients

From January 2011 to January 2016, 287 patients were enrolled in the Earlydrain trial. Only files with complete information on both daily hemoglobin and balance values were used, leaving 237 patients for analysis.

Interventions

Investigation of fluid balance management and hemoglobin levels during the ini
