Condition: SAH (Subarachnoid Hemorrhage) · Cerebral Vasospasm · Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury · Sponsor: University Hospital Center of Martinique
Context : Moderate to severe head trauma with altered state of consciousness is an extremely common pathology (between 60 and 120 cases per 100 000 people per year depending on the country and age group), and is responsible for 30% of deaths by trauma. It is complicated in 30-60% of cases by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), which makes it the leading cause of SAH. SAH and its complications are well described when the origin is aneurysmal, notably cerebral vasospasm (CV) because it promotes delayed cerebral ischemia with a major prognostic impact. This is why the screening and prevention of this vasospasm are well established in the literature and in practice, in the nosological context of aneurysmal SAH. Research problem : However, when it comes to post-traumatic SAH, CV is a more maligned entity, with a much less detailed description. However, when we know the prognostic interest that it could have for patients, it seems legitimate to seek to define its physiopathological and epidemiological contours. On a prospective cohort of 290 subjects, Oertel et al. (2005) demonstrated, in head trauma patients, an incidence of approximately 40% of compatible signs with the recognized criteria of CV. To date, the literature remains sparse on this subject. Proposed study : In view of the incomplete scientific literature, the study team wish to carry out a prospective epidemiological study in moderate to severe head trauma patients complicated by SAH and hospitalized at the Martinique…
