title: Prevention of brain ischemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
abstract: Measures to prevent ischemic stroke after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage include management of fluids to avoid dehydration, use of calcium entry blocking drugs, and when necessary, therapy with drug-induced hypertension and hypervolemic hemodilution. Promising treatments that may also prove to be effective include 21-aminosteroids, intrathecal thrombolytic therapy, and transluminal angioplasty.
