    Abstract:
    The relationship between lipid peroxidation products and the severity of arterial spasm was studied in 86 patients. For this, the level of radical production, the content of the end lipid peroxidation product malonic dialdehyde and the overall antioxidative activity of lumbar cerebrospinal fluid were determined during 24-hour Doppler monitoring of blood flow in the middle cerebral and internal carotid arteries. Following subarachnoidal hemorrhage, the activation of lipid peroxidation processes was shown to correlate with the severity of arterial spasm and it is likely to contribute to the development of late ischemias. Nimotop used to treat patients with significant arterial spasm caused a reduction in the rate of free radical lipid peroxidation to that characteristic for patients with moderate spasm. The findings suggest that it is expedient of including antioxidants into the combined therapy of patients with acute subarachnoidal hemorrhage.
