Abstract
Clazosentan, an endothelin receptor antagonist, is used to prevent delayed neurological deterioration in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured cerebral aneurysms. However, fluid management presents challenges. This single-center case series presents the findings from eight patients undergoing fluid management using transpulmonary thermodilution while receiving clazosentan. The median age of the patients was 49 years (interquartile range: 45.5–63.5), and four (50 %) were male. The median World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies classification was 5 (interquartile range: 2–5), and the median Fisher classification was 3 (interquartile range: 3). During clazosentan treatment, the median global end-diastolic volume index based on transpulmonary thermodilution remained at 715.5 ml/m2 (interquartile range: 643–788). No ischemic neurological deficits, bilateral pulmonary edema, and pleural effusion were observed. Strict fluid management using transpulmonary thermodilution might prevent the complications associated with clazosentan.
