Ep 110- "Understanding Brain Aneurysms: Critical Care for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage"

In this episode, we dive into the critical care management of **aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH)**—a life-threatening type of brain bleed. Though rare, aSAH requires urgent medical attention, and we’ll guide you through what happens from the moment of diagnosis to treatment in the ICU. We’ll discuss how doctors work to **stabilize patients**, the advanced **treatment options** used to stop the bleeding, and why transferring patients to **specialized centers** is so important. You’ll also learn about the **long-term challenges** survivors face, including the risk of **delayed cerebral ischemia**—a serious complication that can lead to lasting disability. This episode highlights the importance of **early diagnosis** and ongoing **intensive care** in improving outcomes for patients with aSAH. We'll also touch on the **gaps in research** that need to be addressed to further improve care for survivors. Whether you're interested in brain health, critical care, or just want to understand more about this condition, we’ll break it down in a way that’s easy to follow.
