[Our experience with using nimodipine in the treatment of ischemic complications after subarachnoid hemorrhage].
On the basis of 50 patients treated for subarachnoid haemorrhage the authors report own experiences with the use of Nimotop for control of vasospasm caused by cerebral ischemia. All these patients were in grades III and IV of the Hunt-Hess scale. The studied patients with vasospasm and cerebral ischaemia were compared with patients similarly in grades III IV of this scale who were not given Nimotop. The analysis showed that patients treated with Nimotop were operated on earlier and had less evident neurological defect on discharge from the hospital.
