Study Summary

This study compares the bioavailability of IV and PO acetaminophen in both blood and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients following subarachnoid hemorrhage. The study will also compare the temperature and levels of inflammatory cytokines in both blood and CSF of patients treated with IV and PO acetaminophen.

Primary Outcome

Patients in both IV and PO groups will have samples taken from their Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) and blood at the above times after acetaminophen is administered for the first time. They will then have additional samples taken every 24 hours following the time of first drug administration for 14 days. Patients will also have a sample collected every 35 hours (1 hour before the 6th loading dose) to determine the steady state level of acetaminophen.
