Intraventricular intracranial pressure monitoring: The postoperative management of ICP is guided by quantifiable Intraventricular ICP parameters. The remaining treatments are consistent with those in the control group.
Study summary
ASTIM is a multicenter, prospective, randomised, blinded end-point assessed trial, to investigate the efficacy and safety of treatment based on intracranial pressure monitoring in improving the prognosis of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Inclusion criterias
1. Definite diagnosis of aSAH: presence of SAH symptoms confirmed by CT, with rupture of an intracranial aneurysm identified by CTA or DSA. The ruptured aneurysm is scheduled for definitive treatment (clipping or endovascular therapy) within 72 hours of onset.
2. Age ≥ 18 years.
3. Symptom onset within 72 hours.
4. Hunt-Hess grade 2-4 and modified Fisher grade 2-4 on CT imaging.
5. Written informed consent obtained from the participant or legal representative.
Exclusion criteria included
1. Pregnancy or lactation;
2. Bilateral fixed dilated pupils on admission;
3. Malignancy, bleeding disorders, or other severe systemic comorbidities, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, multiple organ dysfunction, severe diabetes, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease;
4. Pre-existing neurological disability due to previous brain disease or neurosurgery, defined as a premorbid modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≥3;
5. Significant structural abnormalities on neuroimaging, such as extensive encephalomalacia or marked mass effect;
6. Subarachnoid haemorrhage caused by non-aneurysmal aetiologies;
7. Moyamoya disease associated aneurysmal rupture;
8. Other underlying diseases expected to substantially affect prognosis;
9. Active request for ICP monitoring by the patient or family;
10. Any other condition considered unsuitable for enrolment by two investigators;
11. Concurrent participation in another clinical trial.
Primary outcome measure(s)
The rate of good neurological functional prognosis — 90 days The proportion of patients with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores 0-2. The mRS is an ordinal hierarchical scale ranging from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating more severe disability. A mRS ≤ 2 indicated a good clinical outcome, and a mRS 5-6 indicated a poor clinical outcome.
