Study Summary

The purpose of this research is to compare patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage on dexmedetomidine compared to propofol to assess if one group has decreased inflammation. The investigators hypothesis is that the group assigned to receive dexmedetomidine will have a more profound decrease in markers of inflammation over time.

Primary Outcome

Measure the baseline level (at enrollment) of inflammatory markers tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), glial fibrially acidic protein (GFAP), and malondialdehyde (MDA) as measured in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in 10 patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

Interventions
