Observing Heart and Brain Function After Severe Brain Injury or Brain Bleeding in Adults Using Non-Invasive Monitoring

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are exploring how heart function relates to the progress and outcomes after traumatic brain injuries and nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. This observational study focuses on analyzing the connection between routinely collected heart and brain monitoring data from adults admitted with these conditions. The study aims to understand systemic and cerebral hemodynamics and their impact on patient recovery and mortality. Participants will be monitored using the non-invasive Starling System, which collects continuous hemodynamic data as part of their standard medical care. The study does not involve any new treatments or interventions. Data collection includes patient demographics, clinical treatments, brain pressure and oxygen levels, fluid balance, and ventilator use. After hospital discharge, researchers will follow up with participants for six months to assess functional outcomes and quality of life. During the study, data will be gathered from medical records and the Starling monitor from the start to the end of hemodynamic monitoring. Follow-ups at 180 days will include validated surveys like the Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended to evaluate recovery. Researchers will analyze the relationships between heart and brain function, treatments received, and patient outcomes to better understand factors influencing recovery after brain injury.
