Dynamically Normalized Pupillometry for Detecting Delayed Cerebral Ischemia After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a major driver of morbidity after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Quantitative pupillometry has been shown to be of prognostic value after acute neurological injury. However, the evidence for the use of pupillometric features for the detection of DCI has been conflicting. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of frequent pupillometric monitoring for DCI detection.

Design

Observational cohort study from a prospective aSAH registry.

Setting

Tertiary referral center.

Patients

Adult patients with confirmed aSAH admitted to the ICU between March 2019 and December 2023.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

One hundred fourteen patients were included, of which 3
