    Background And ObjectivesSubarachnoid haemorrhage is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The aim of the study was to determine predictors of mortality among patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage hospitalized in an Intensive Care Unit.MethodsThis is a retrospective study of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of our institution during a 7 year period (2009-2015). Data were collected from the Intensive Care Unit computerized database and the patients' chart reviews.ResultsWe included in the study 107 patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage. A ruptured aneurysm was the cause of subarachnoid haemorrhage in 76 (71%) patients. The overall mortality was 40% (43 patients), and was significantly associated with septic shock, midline shift on CT scan, inter-hospital transfer, aspiration pneumonia and hypernatraemia during the first 72 hours of Intensive Care Unit stay. Multivariate analysis of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage following an aneurysm rupture revealed that mortality was significantly associated with septic shock and hypernatremia during the first 72 hours of Intensive Care Unit stay, while early treatment of aneurysm (clipping or endovascular coiling) within the first 72 hours was identified as a predictor of a good prognosis.ConclusionsTransferred patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage had lower survival rates. Septic shock and hypernatraemia were important complications among critically ill patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage and were associated increased mortality.Copyright © 2019 Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia.
