Advantages/Limitations/Disadvantages

Advantages Limitations
Replicates the mechanical trauma experienced by the brain and cerebral vasculature Requires extensive complicated surgery
Replicates events observed during rebleed in SAH patients:

  • Rapid ICP and MABP rise and CBF and CPP fall

  • Blood accumulation into subarachnoid space

 Poor control of bleeding and hemorrhage severity
Allows real time recording of early physiological changes after SAH Lacks proper control
High mortality
