This chapter focuses on aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) related to rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. A medical and neurosurgical emergency, aSAH is associated with a 1-month mortality as high as 40%, and survivors have considerable morbidity and persisting neurologic deficits. Early recognition and management of aSAH are critical to optimizing outcomes.","PeriodicalId":308040,"journal":{"name":"Mayo Clinic Critical and Neurocritical Care Board Review","volume":"413 6854 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121060085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
