Correction of metabolic disorders in patients with aneurysmal intracranial hemorrhages

Abstract

The article presents data assessment of the severity of the clinical condition and a number of biochemical parameters in 51 patients with aneurysmal intracranial hemorrhage on the 10th day, on average, after the rupture of the arterial aneurysm and after treatment with the additional use of magnesium sulfate to standard therapy in the postoperative period. It is shown, that at the time of hospitalization, 75 % of patients in the control group and 50 % of patients in the main group had cerebral vascular spasm according to transcranial dopplerography; activation of lipid peroxidation processes, a decrease in superoxide dismutase activity, an increase in the content of vascular endothelial growth factor and highly sensitive C-reactive protein (CRP) with a decrease in the level of stable nitrogen monoxide exchange products were detected. A statistically significant improvement in the clinical condition of patients on the Hunt-Hess scale, the modified Fisher scale, and an increase in the score on the Glasgow coma scale with normalization of pro- and antioxidant status of the blood were revealed in the main group after neurosurgical treatment and course use of magnesium sulfate. At the same time, high levels of highly sensitive CRP and low levels of nitrates/nitrites in the patients blood of both groups are maintained. Consequently, the additional use of magnesium sulfate improves the clinical condition of patients with intracranial hemorrhage and increases the antioxidant potential of the blood in the postoperative period.
