Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Pathophysiology and ManagementJoshua B. Bederson Due to its unique epidemiological characteristics, the incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has remained unchanged over time. However, during the past 20 years many advances have improved our understanding and treatment of SAH and its consequences. Subarachnoid Hemorrhage is the first book to synthesize those advances and to focus on the pathophysiology and treatment of SAH. After reading Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, the physician will understand the epidemiology, natural history and modern day outcome of SAH. In addition, the physician will understand and comprehend:
