Pre-Hospital Glyceryl Trinitrate: Potential for Use in Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Author(s): Jason J Chang and Nerses SanossianJason J Chang and Nerses Sanossian
Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage is associated with poor clinical outcome and high mortality. Research and treatment modalities have focused on the expansion of the primary hematoma through blood pressure control and activation of coagulation factors. However, clinical trials have failed to show decreased rates of death or disability in intracerebral hemorrhage following hospital initiation of blood pressure control. However, as clinical deterioration often occurs immediately after onset, pre-hospital initiation of blood pressure control may be more ideal.
Methods: Relevant terms in the National Library of Medicine PubMed database and selected research including basic science, translational reports, meta-analyses, and clinical studies were searched.
Results: Trends indicating improved clinical outcome in intrac.. Read More»
