Abstract
The presence of subarachnoid blood following head injury is a significant risk factor for poor outcome. Treatment aims to prevent and treat secondary hypoxia, hypotension, intracranial haematoma, epilepsy and infection. There is good evidence for the benefit of nimodipine in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Its role in preventing cerebral ischaemia following trauma is currently under investigation.Entities:
