Official title
Extracellular Water for Volume Status Characterization in Patients with Intracranial Hemorrhage
Overview
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the influence of extracellular water on volume status in adult patients with intracranial hemorrhage presenting with hemodynamic instability. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can measurement of extracellular water contribute to the description of hemodynamic instability in adult patients with intracranial hemorrhage. Patients with intracranial hemorrhage admitted to intensive care will receive standard care with the addition of measurement of extracellular water.
Detailed description
Adult patients with intracranial hemorrhage admitted to ICU will be recruited. During the first five days after inclusion blood samples and extended non-invasive monitoring, including monitoring of the microcirculation (CytoCam) and measurement of extracellular water (dielectronic constant), will be added to routine care and monitoring.
Primary outcome measures
- Extracellular water for volume status characterization in patients with intracranial hemorrhage. [Time frame: 7 days]
