A Controlled Study of Continuous Lumbar Drainage of Fluid and Lumbar Puncture Drainage for Aneurysmal SAH after Intracranial Aneurysm Clipping

Objective. To analyze the different effects of Continuous Lumbar Drainage of fluid and lumbar puncture drainage for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) after intracranial aneurysm clipping. Method. Seventy-five patients with aneurysmal SAH who underwent aneurysm clipping were retrospectively analyzed and were divided into two groups according to the different postoperative drainage methods. The lumbar spine group received lumbar puncture drainage, and the lumbar cistern group received lumbar pool continuous drainage to compare the efficacy. Result. The time to normalize intracranial pressure and headache relief after drainage treatment in the lumbar cistern group was shorter than that in the lumbar spine group. The GOS score was higher than that in the lumbar spine group, and the cerebral artery flow velocity and NIHSS score were significantly lower than those in the lumbar spine group (P
