Study on the effect of continuous lumbar drainage of cerebrospinal fluid on the traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage

[Objective] To investigate the effect of continuous lumbar drainage of cerebrospinal fluid(CLDCF) on the traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. [Methods] 54 patients with tSAH were treated through CLDCF, compared with the control group. [Results] 5 days after treatment, the counts of Glasgow Coma Score(GCS) of the treatment group were significantly more than those of the control group(P 0.05), but 10 days after treatment, the counts of GCS were no markly difference between the two groups(P 0.05). Meanwhile, there was a much more elevated activity of SOD(P 0.05)and a less level of MDA(P 0.05) from the blood of vein of the patients in the the treatment group. 2 out of 43 patients met with intracranial infection in the control group and there were no one in the treatment group. [Conclusion] Compared with traditional treatment, CLDCF is more save and effective in the treatment of traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and it can accelerate the recovery of disease(P 0.05).
