2The investigators will test the central hypothesis that DFO treatment after SAH may improve cerebrovascular regulation, mitigate ischemic neural injury, and serve as an effective neuroprotectant against delayed ischemic injury after SAH.
DFO (20mg/kg/hr) in normal saline for 4 hours for 5 consecutive days
normal saline IV for 4 hours for 5 consecutive days
DFO (20mg/kg/hr) in normal saline IV for 4 hours for 5 consecutive days
Inclusion Criteria: diagnosis of spontaneous SAH impaired cerebral autoregulation on day 2-4 post SAH Exclusion Criteria: traumatic SAH other central neurological disorders such as tumors, known prior stroke, hemorrhage or vascular malformations pregnancy severe renal disease or anuria
