BackgroundIn this study, we investigated the hemodynamic changes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) during the intensive care unit and the effects of PiCCO on the hemodynamic clinical course during hydration and hypertension treatment.MethodsIn our study, 15 adult aSAH patients, whose aneurysm had been treated by surgery or coiling, were examined for the signs of vasospasm in between the dates 03/01/2015 and 01/03/2016. The PICCO measurement was made at least twice in a day. Positive daily fluid balance was attempted to be at least 1000 mL and the value of the Global end-diastolic index (GEDI) was targeted to 680 to 800 mL/m2 for each patient. The values of mean arterial pressure (MAP), systolic arterial pressure (SAP), heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP), and cardiac index (CI), GEDI, systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), extravascular lung water index (ELWI) measured by PiCCO, and daily neurological outcome of patients and GCS values were recorded.ResultsIt had been observed that CVP value was randomly changing during the volume therapy, but the GEDI value determined by thermodilution was consistent. A positive correlation was detected between the period of reaching the hospital and the first measured value of SVRI. Low GEDI value was detected as a risk factor in the perspective of vasospasm, but an ideal GEDI value could not be determined.ConclusionGEDI values were correlated with daily fluid balance. While low GEDI value was found as a risk factor, we could not determine an ideal GEDI value.
