The role of transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) was studied retrospectively in relation to the management of 73 patients with a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a ruptured intracranial aneurysms. TCD velocity measurements provided very valuable data to assist scheduling of angiography and delayed surgery. Angiography and surgery were planned significantly sooner in the TCD examined group of patients with TCD velocities indicative for the absence of vasospasm than in the group of patients who did not have TCD examinations. The cerebral circulatory resistance index (R), calculated as: (maximum systolic velocity--end diastolic velocity)/maximum systolic velocity, and changes in R did not predict a change in clinical grade or outcome.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D001783 Blood Flow Velocity A value equal to the total volume flow divided by the cross-sectional area of the vascular bed. Blood Flow Velocities,Flow Velocities, Blood,Flow Velocity, Blood,Velocities, Blood Flow,Velocity, Blood Flow
D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
