title: Subarachnoid hemorrhage: the first 24 hours. A surgeon's perspective.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The first 24 h in the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) represent a critical time period for medical intervention.
  
  
  METHODS
  We review the current literature and discuss our current clinical practices related to management of acute SAH.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A brief objective review of the current evidence along with a subjective overview of the authors practices in the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the first 24 h is outlined.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The first 24 h following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a critical time period in which medical and interventional management paradigms continue to evolve.
