[Influence of body position on intracranial pressure and cerebral hemodynamic in non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhages].

Objective: Patient's body position is one of the most important principles of intensive therapy of intracranial hypertension syndrome. It is considered that the provision of the head end of a bed of 15-30 degrees is preferable for the majority of patients with cerebral pathology. We studied hemodynamic parameters at various tilt angles of the body in patients with non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhages.

Material And Methods: Hemodynamic parameters (intracerebral pressure, cerebral perfusion, mean arterial pressure ) at various tilt angles were measured in 35 patients with intracranial hemorrhages.

Results: Using continuous monitoring of intracranial, cerebral perfusion and mean arterial pressure, we revealed the relationship between hemodynamic indicators and various tilt angles in patients with intracranial hemorrhages of non-traumatic genesis.

Conclusion: Optimal positions of the head-end of a bed in different periods from disease onset are defined.
