THE EFFECTS OF INDUCED HYPERTENSION ON CEREBRAL PERFUSION DURING DELAYED CEREBRAL ISCHAEMIA IN ANEURYSMAL SUBARACHNOID HAEMORRHAGE: A RANDOMISED CLINICAL TRIAL

Induced hypertension is often used to treat delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) by trying to augment cerebral blood flow (CBF) [1]. However, evidence on effectiveness is lacking, since previous studies on the effect of induced hypertension on CBF are scarce, small and without control groups [2–4].
