This book focuses on subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), describing in detail the neurophysiology, anatomy, epidemiology, grading, anesthesia management, coiling and interventional treatment of this dangerous disease. Written by leading international experts, it highlights the state-of-the-art techniques for the diagnosis and treatment (non-surgical and surgical) of SAH and the clinical variations. It also examines the reliability of the new techniques versus the standard clinical methods to predict problems related to SAH and its recent diagnosis and management.

The book starts with a brief discussion of the epidemiology of SAH, cerebral circulation, anatomy of brain blood vessels and neurophysiology related to this fatal disease. Then, in the following chapters it covers grading of subarachnoid hemorrhage, anesthesia management of SAH, treatment, subarachnoid hemorrhage coiling and radiological intervention. Lastly, it explores surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysmsin more detail, and addresses complications, critical care management and headache in SAH, traumatic SAH and prognosis.

Featuring numerous images, tables, schema, illustrations and videos, the book is intended for junior and senior anesthesiologists, neuroscientists, intervention radiologists, intensivists and neurosurgeons.

“The editors and their contributing authors are commended on how approachable the content of the text is for readers of all levels of training. … it is best suited for medical students, advanced practice practitioners, or junior residents … . it succeeds as the editors intend it to be, ‘a practical book, not just to be read and placed on a shelf, but hopefully one that will be taken into the workplace and used as an aid during clinical practice.’” (Matthew J. McPheeters, Neurosurgery, Vol. 90 (6), June, 2022)
