Ep 195 Management of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

ECG Cases

Once the diagnosis of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has been made, our job is not done. Paying attention to the time-sensitive details of ED management of SAH patients can have a significant impact on their outcome. What can we do in the ED to prevent rebleeding in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage?

Low Hemoglobin Causes Hematoma Expansion and Poor Intracerebral Hemorrhage Outcomes

Stroke Journal

BACKGROUND:Although lower hemoglobin levels associate with worse intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes, causal drivers for this relationship remain unclear. Similar relationships were seen with poor 6- and 12-month outcomes. Additional studies are required to clarify whether correcting anemia can improve these outcomes.
