Non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a significant cause of death and disability globally, with an incidence of around 6 per 100,000 person-years. The initial treatment focuses on early aneurysm repair to prevent re-bleeding and reduce early brain injury risk. Management also addresses secondary brain injuries, including hydrocephalus, elevated...Read more

Spontaneous aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a serious cerebrovascular event contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. It is often associated with anaemia, which can worsen brain injury through cerebral hypoxia, particularly when haemoglobin (Hb) levels drop below 5 g/dL. In healthy brains, anaemia is compensated by...Read more

High blood pressure is known to increase the risk of stroke. However, a study led by Michigan Medicine focuses on the long-term impact of elevated systolic blood pressure — the top number in a blood pressure reading, indicating how forcefully the heart pumps blood into the arteries. This study reveals that a higher average systolic blood pressure...Read more

A newly published study evaluated the reliability of synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (SyMRI) for detecting complications associated with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), such as ischaemic lesions, hydrocephalus, or bleeding complications. Researchers compared results from twenty patients with SAH, who underwent a conventional brain MRI and...Read more

Secondary complications Reports on secondary complications arising from insertion of a multimodal monitoring sensor using a dual lumen introducer kit in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage, head injury or intracranial haemorrhage. Maintenance of sufficient cerebral oxygen supply to meet metabolic demand is a key goal in managing...Read more

Hypothermia (HT) is a cornerstone of neuroprotective strategies and has been used in critical care for acutely brain injured adult patients for many years. This review aims to discuss the clinical evidence supporting the use of HT in neurocritical care patients beyond care after cardiac arrest (CA), such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), acute ischaemic...Read more
