Abstract
Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (SAH) is a common neurosurgical condition with high morbidity and mortality, with our trust treating over 120 patients annually. Although there are recommendations for the management of some aspects of subarachnoid haemorrhage, a comprehensive guideline document has not been produced. Our guidelines seek to address all aspects of acute patient care in our neurosurgical unit, using evidence based medicine with a multi-disciplinary team to produce care pathways establishing a standard of care for our patients.
