THE USE OF CROSS-LINKED HEMOGLOBIN IN TREATING SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE

摘要

Cross-linked hemoglobin infusion following subarachnoid hemorrhage dramatically reduces the tissue area of hypoperfusion and reduces the extent of neuronal damage in the area of hypoperfusion. A therapeutically effective dose ranges from about 1000-5500 mg of body weight and may be administered up to 72 hours after the onset of hemorrhage.
