Cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality days after securing the aneurysm due to development of cerebral ischemia and strokes. Vasospasm is detected by measuring the blood flow velocities in the cerebral circulation via daily Transcranial Dopplers (TCD). There is no effective treatment except for a per os calcium channel blocker (nimodipine) and for keeping the patient hypertensive and with euvolemia or hypervolemia. A recently proposed option is to dilate the cerebral vessels by infusing continuously another vasodilatory calcium channel blocker, nicardipine, and supporting the systemic blood pressure (BP) with vasopressors which do not constrict the cerebral vasculature at the same time. Nicardipine has also been used extensively intra-arterially as a bolus or infusion to dilate the vasospastic cerebral vessels as a rescue therapy for severe vasospasm.
