Cerebral Edema Monitoring by Non-invasive and Dynamical Method in Patients With Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Objective: To observe the dynamical changes of cerebral edema caused by spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(SICH).Methods: Thirty patients with SICH were recruited for this study.The change of agitating coefficient in the 30 patients was dyamically detected by non-invasive brain edema monitor before and after mannitol infusion at different time points.Results: The study displayed that the difference in agitating coefficient in SICH side and unaffected side was significant before and after mannitol infusion(30min,1 h and 3 h,P0.01).Conclusion: Brain edema of SICH will be alleveated 3 hours after mannitol infusion.Brain edema in SICH side was more serious than that in unaffected side for a few days and will be relieved on day 7.
