Study Summary

The objective of this study is to determine whether acetaminophen (APAP), N-acetylcysteine (NAC), and APAP in combination with NAC will inhibit lipid peroxidation in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), utilizing F2-IsoPs as biomarkers for lipid peroxidation.

Primary Outcome

Presence of vasospasm measured Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA). MRA measures the degree of arterial narrowing, with a higher score indicating more severe vasospasm. An MRA score of 84% sensitivity and 72% specificity is indicative of vasospasm.

Interventions

  • DRUG Placebos for acetaminophen and N-acetylcysteine
  • DRUG APAP 1 gm every 6 hours and N-acetylcysteine placebo
  • DRUG NAC IV infusion at 0.5 gm hourly and APAP placebo
  • DRUG APAP 1 gm q6 hours, plus NAC IV infusion at 0.5 gm hourly
  • DRUG APAP 1.5 gm q6 hours, plus NAC IV infusion at 0.5 gm hourly
