Overview
Brief Summary
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral Nimodipine and IV milrinone combination therapy for management of cerebral spasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Detailed Description
after being informed about the study and potential risks. All patients giving written consent will be randomized by double-blind manner into 2groups each one containing 15 patients.
Group 1(n =15 ):the patients will receive nimodipine (60 mg/4 hours) orally or via nasogastric tube In group 2(n =15 ): the patients will receive Oral Nimodipine (60 mg/4) will be given orally or in the gastric tube also from the first day of admission, then after the diagnosis of vasospasm is confirmed, start milrinone.

Arms & Interventions
triple H group
The patients will receive nimodipine (60 mg/4 hours) orally or via nasogastric tube from the first day of admission, then after the diagnosis of vasospasm is confirmed, Triple H therapy (hypertension, hypervolemia and hemodilution) will be started. norepnnephrine (0.01-0.2ug/kg/min) to mentain main arterial blood pressure >100mmhg and hypervolemia to maintain the CVP around 12---14 mmHg and hemodilution to maintain the haematocrit between 30% and 33%.
Intervention: nimodipine (Drug)
Milrinone group
The patients will receive oral Nimodipine (60 mg/4) will be given orally or in the gastric tube also from the first day of admission, then after the diagnosis of vasospasm is confirmed, start milrinone bolus of 0.1-0.2 mg/kg followed by 0.75mcg/k/min, if no response after 30min increase the infusion to 1-25mcg/kg/min with maintaining CVP 5:8.
Norepinephrine (0.01-0.2ug/kg/min) is used only to restore the mean arterial pressure (MAP) to its previous values If there was no recurrence of symptoms after 72 h, we decreased the milrinone infusion by 0.25 mcg/kg/min every 24 or 48 h until discontinuation. If there are any recurrent of symptoms of vasospasm, the patients are placed back on the dose they were previously receiving. If required, another Milrinone bolus is administered if the patient's deficits do not revert12.
Intervention: Oral Nimodipine and milrinone (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Concentration of transcutaneous cerebral mixed oxygen saturation
Time Frame: every 24 hours up to 1 week
by forehead bilateral interconnected adhesive probes
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of participants restore of the previous conscious level and motor state(Percentage of drug success)(1 hour after administration of milrinone and 2 hours after administration of triple H therapy)
- value of Modified Rankin scale(3,6,12 monthes after drug administration)
- Number of participants develop one of adverse events(after administration of the study drugs up to 30 days)
- Total ICU and hospital stay(up to 30 days after administration of the study drugs)
- mortality rate(30 day after administration of the study drugs)
- Glasgow Outcome Scale(3,6,12 monthes after drug administration)
- value of Glasgow coma scale(every 24 hours up to total days of ICU and hospital stay)
- Number of participants having cerebral infarction (cerebral infarction incidence)(every 48 hours up to 1 week)
