Activity Summary

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a significant health issue and life-threatening condition. Cerebral vasospasm and the impending infarction contribute to significant mortality and morbidity rates in this patient population. This session reviews the prompt recognition of changes in neurologic assessment for early interventions to decrease potential complications and delayed cerebral ischemia. Attendees gain evidence-based approaches to potentially improve the quality of life for aSAH patients and discussion of the latest developments in clinical trials of novel medications.

Objectives

  • Explain the clinical presentation, diagnosis and grading scales for SAH.
  • Discuss the complications of aSAH, emphasizing cerebral vasospasm which may lead to infarction.
  • Review the management of aSAH, focusing on therapies to decrease delayed cerebral ischemia.
