Abstract

Mortality from SAH is high. Poor clinical condition on admission is a predictor of a poor outcome. Management is aimed at early occlusion of the aneurysm, prevention of vasospasm leading to cerebral ischaemia and supportive management of systemic complications. An anaesthetist who understands the pathophysiology of the condition, and can manage the patient on both ICU and perioperatively, will contribute to an improved outcome.
