Treatment of Cerebral Edema in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage with Elevated Intracranial Pressure

This protocol addresses patients presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage who develop elevated intracranial pressure or cerebral edema as a complication. The management approach is shaped specifically by this combination.

The protocol centres on intravenous therapy targeting intracranial pressure and cerebral edema, with a specific preference for how and when that therapy is delivered — guided by the patient's symptoms rather than a laboratory target. The complete regimen, dosing strategy, and decision algorithm are in the full protocol.
