Continuous Lumbar Drainage Combined with Nimodipine Injection in the Treatment of Traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Objective: To investigate the treatment effect of continuous lumbar drainage combined with nimodipine injection in the treatment of traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Method: 178 patients with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage in total were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,89 patients in each group. Both groups were given traditional routine medical treatments like dehydration,reduce intracranial pressure,neuroprotective. Continuous intravenous nimodipine injections were given to treatment group as soon as the patients were sent to hospital,and continuous lumbar drainage were given 24 hours later. Result: The patients in treatment group had lower incidence of cerebral vasospasm and complications such as cerebral infarction,rebleeding,hydrocephalus as well as less hospitalization days compared with patients in control group,the difference was significant(P 0. 05). Conclusion: Continuous lumbar drainage combined with nimodipine injection has a good curative effect on traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage,and can significantly reduce the incidence of cerebral vasospasm and complications as well as hospitalization days. The treatment is worthy of promotion for the better prognosis of patients.
