  • Summary

    Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a complex disease with high morbidity and mortality. Management of patients with SAH requires a multisystem approach. This chapter presents a case study of a 45-year-old female who had presented to an outside hospital with a 1-month history of progressive right-sided facial and body numbness that had worsened acutely over the week prior to her admission. The patient underwent definitive correction of the aneurysm the following day. Aneurysmal SAH is a neurologic emergency, resulting from blood extravasation into the subarachnoid space normally filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), that requires complex treatment and monitoring. Patients present for elective clipping of an unruptured aneurysm or emergent surgery following SAH. Thorough assessment of the patient, effective organ support and correction of pathophysiology are vital prior to leaving the intensive care unit (ICU) for what may be a challenging case in the operating room.
