Non-invasive Measuring of Cerebral Perfusion After Severe Brain Injury With Near-infrared-spectroscopy and ICG

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Aneurysmal; Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH); Traumatic Brain Injury

• Registration Number: NCT01836848
• Lead Sponsor: University of Cologne

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to show if it is possible to detect secondary ischemic events in patients with severe brain injury or cerebral haemorrhage with the help of non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) by using the indocyanine green measuring of cerebral perfusion.
