Emergency Neurological Life Support: Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Jonathan A Edlow et al. Neurocrit Care. 2015 Dec.

Abstract

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a neurological emergency because it may lead to sudden neurological decline and death and, depending on the cause, has treatment options that can return a patient to normal. Because there are interventions that can be life-saving in the first hour of onset, SAH was chosen as an Emergency Neurological Life Support protocol.
