This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of treatment guided by intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring to improve outcomes for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Aneurysmal SAH is a severe brain hemorrhage caused by ruptured intracranial aneurysms, which leads to increased ICP and serious neurological damage. Given the high rate of elevated ICP in these patients, the study addresses a critical need for evidence on using ICP monitoring in managing aSAH. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. In the experimental group, after surgical treatment of the aneurysm, a ventricular ICP monitoring probe is implanted to guide postoperative ICP management based on measurable ICP values. The control group receives standard aSAH treatment without ICP monitoring, relying instead on clinical signs and CT imaging to assess ICP. Both groups receive similar other treatments as appropriate. During the study, participants will be followed to assess neurological outcomes, including the rate of good neurological functional prognosis at 90 days as the primary measure. Additional outcomes include prognosis at 30 and 180 days, mortality, incidence of hydrocephalus requiring shunt, delayed cerebral ischemia, and epilepsy. Safety and effectiveness will be monitored over time, with assessments conducted through clinical evaluations and imaging. The study is planned to continue until late 2026.

Complete this quick 3-step screening to check your eligibility
Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person)
Duration - Within 72 hours of symptom onset
Participants undergo surgery to occlude the aneurysm either by craniotomy clipping or endovascular treatment within 72 hours of symptom onset. For those in the experimental group, a ventricular ICP monitoring probe is implanted during surgery.
1 surgical procedure (in-person)
Duration - Up to 180 days
After surgery, participants receive treatment guided by intraventricular ICP monitoring if applicable, or by clinical signs and CT imaging without ICP monitoring. This phase involves monitoring neurological function, ICP, and managing complications.
Multiple visits including assessments at 30, 90, and 180 days
