简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how pressure inside the skull responds to position changes in patients with brain bleeds.
详细描述
The optimal positioning of the head-of-bed (HOB) has remained controversial in the neurosurgical field. Very limited data exists outlining the effects of HOB positioning in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients. One study by Schulz-Stubner and Thiex assess the effects of HOB positioning in SAH and traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. While this study offers some valuable insight into the changes in cerebral hemodynamics seen when the HOB changes, it congregates data from two very different pathologies. This could potentially misrepresent the true effects patients experience. A study by Kung et al. assesses cerebral blood flow dynamics and HOB changes in the setting of SAH but does not evaluate the effects on intracranial pressure (ICP) (Kung, et al., 2013). There appear to be no studies which evaluate the effect of HOB positioning on ICP in patients with SAH. No current data exists to determine if dependent leg positioning would help to further lower ICP. Theoretically, placing a patient's legs in a dependent position would lead to increased venous pooling of blood in the legs which might translate to lower ICP.

研究组 & 干预措施
Positional Changes
The patient will begin in a supine position with the head-of-bed (HOB) at zero (0) degrees. The patient will remain in this position for five (5) minutes while pressure data is collected every fifteen (15) seconds. Next, the HOB will be adjusted to thirty (30) degrees. The patient will remain in this position for five (5) minutes while pressure data is collected every fifteen (15) seconds. Lastly, the HOB will remain at thirty (30) degrees and the foot-of-bed (FOB) will be adjusted to place the patient's leg in a dependent position. The patient will remain in this position for five (5) minutes while pressure data is collected every fifteen (15) seconds.
干预措施: Supine (Other)
