About this document
Nimodipine Use in Cerebral Vasospasm by Asa Dullah is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides a practical approach for preventing and treating cerebral vasospasm. It recommends clipping any aneurysm with a large subarachnoid clot using visual inspection, angiography, or a combination. It also recommends using 5-10 mg of rt-PA to lyse subarachnoid clots, crystalloid and albumin infusions of at least 3 L per day combined, optimizing cerebral perfusion pressure above 70 mm Hg using external ventricular drains, and administering nimodipine orally at 60 mg every 4 hours.
