Abstract:Objective To evaluate the effect of torasemide injection on encephaledema after acute cerebral hemorrhage.Methods A randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare the effect and side effects between observation group(mannitol and torasemide) and control group(mannitol and furosemide) in 50 subjects with encephaledema after acute cerebral hemorrhage.Results After treatment for 14 days,8 cases were cured in neurological function deficit,14 cases got improved and 3 cases made progress in observation group; 5 cases were cured,11 cases achieved significant improvement,and 8 cases made progress,1 case got worse in control group.The improvement of neurological function deficit in observation group was better than that in control group (P < 0.05).The intracranial pressure and the incidence rate of electrolyte imbalances of observation group was significantly lower than those of control group(P <0.05 or P <0.01).The total effective rate in observation group was higher than that in control group[92.0% (23/25)vs 72.0% (18/25),P<0.05].Conclusion Torasemide is an effective and safe drug in treatment of encephaledema after acute cerebral hemorrhage.
