Emergent monitoring of vessel overload index in hypertensive patients with cerebral hemorrhage / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective Vessel overload index (VOI)was studied to monitor patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods 144 cases with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were divided into two groups at random.One group was treated with mannitol plus urapidil hydrochlorid and the other with mannitol alone as controls.VOI were observed before and 2～4 hours after treatment and the changes of VOI values were analyzed with t-test.Results There was no significant difference in VOI values between groups before treatment (P＞0.05),but after treatmen (P＜0.05),30 day mortality was 18.18% in controls and 8.7% in observed groups.Conclusion VOI can be used to evaluate vessel load in hypertensive patients with cerebral hemorrhage and to indicate hypotensive therapy properly.
