Noninvasive CA Monitoring Validation and Autonomic Modulation in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Краткое описание

This is a two-component prospective study of adult aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients admitted to the Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit (NSICU) at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Component 1 (active upon IRB approval) validates Brain4Care (B4C) extensometry-derived noninvasive cerebral autoregulation (CA) indices against invasive ICP-derived equivalents in aSAH patients with open external ventricular drains (EVDs), and characterizes the prospective natural history of multi-modal CA parameter evolution through the delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) window (admission through Day 14). Component 2 (activated upon PI readiness declaration) assesses the within-subject effect of cervical sympathetic block (CSB) and transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS) on CA parameters in enrolled aSAH patients.
