ReviewSystemic Complications Following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.
Many systemic complications follow aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and are primarily due to sympathetic nervous system activation. These complications play an important role in the overall outcome of patients. ⋯ Special focus has been made on systemic complications that occur more frequently in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage compared to other stroke subtypes and in the neurocritical care patient population. These complications include neurogenic pulmonary edema, electrocardiographic changes, troponin elevation, neurogenic stunned myocardium, hyponatremia, and anemia.
