News to Use
ROS Scavengers and Intracranial Hemorrhage
For clinicians who treat hemorrhagic stroke patients, very few treatments are available to mitigate the secondary injury in these patients. Kim and colleagues recently published a paper evaluating the effect of an infusion of a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger combined with N-acetylcysteine and selenium on perihematomal edema (PHE) in 123 patients with intracranial hemorrhage. There was a significant reduction in PHE as well as a reduced ICU length of stay. The authors concede that early and higher doses of the ROS combined with the other medications may have contributed to the outcome.
