Popis: Clinical presentation and neurological outcome in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is highly variable. Aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) is hallmarked by sudden increase of intracranial pressure (ICP) and acute hypoperfusion contributing to early brain injury (EBI) and worse outcome, while milder or non-aneurysmal SAH with comparable amount of blood are associated with better neurological outcome, possibly due to less dramatic changes in ICP. Acute pressure dynamics may therefore be an important pathophysiological aspect determining neurological complications and outcome. We investigated the influence of ICP variability on acute changes after SAH by modulating injection velocity and composition in an experimental model of SAH. Five hundred microliters of arterial blood (AB) or normal saline (NS) were injected intracisternally over 1 (AB1, NS1), 10 (AB10, NS10), or 30 min (AB30) with monitoring for 6 h (n = 68). Rapid blood injection resulted in highest ICP peaks (AB1 median 142.7 mmHg [1.Q 116.7–3.Q 230.6], AB30 33.42 mmHg [18.8–38.3], p
