This study is comparing two common procedures, Extraventricular Drain (EVD) and Lumbar Drain (LD), to see which is better at preventing vasospasm (a narrowing of blood vessels in the brain) after a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding around the brain). Vasospasm is a serious complication, and doctors don't yet have clear guidelines on the best way to drain blood from around the brain to prevent it. You might be able to join if you are 18 to 110 years old and have a certain type of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The study will measure how often vasospasm occurs within 14 days to see which method is more successful. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This is a randomized controlled trial with a planned enrollment of 100 participants. Participants will be assigned by chance to receive either a Lumbar Drain or an Extraventricular Drain.

What's involved

Participants will receive either a Lumbar Drain or an Extraventricular Drain as part of their treatment for subarachnoid hemorrhage. The study does not specify additional visits, procedures, or tests.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary outcome, vasospasm, will be measured within 0-14 days after the intervention.
