- Diagnostic imaging: Rapid CT scan of the head is the first-line test to confirm bleeding.
- Stabilization: Securing airway, breathing, and circulation in the emergency department.

- Blood tests: To check clotting function, blood count, and electrolyte levels.
- Informed consent: For procedures, explained to the patient or family given the critical nature.
Risks & possible complications
- Increased intracranial pressure leading to further brain damage or herniation.
- Re-bleeding at the original site of the hemorrhage.
- Development of vasospasm (narrowing of brain blood vessels), risking stroke.
- Hydrocephalus (build-up of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain).
- Permanent neurological deficits such as paralysis, speech impairment, or memory loss.
- Seizures (post-hemorrhagic epilepsy).
- Infections, particularly if surgical intervention or external ventricular drain is placed.
- Medical complications from prolonged immobility, like blood clots or pneumonia.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Intensive Care: Initial recovery in a Neuro-ICU with continuous monitoring of neurological status.
- Medication Management: Ongoing use of drugs to control blood pressure, prevent seizures, and manage pain.
- Rehabilitation: Early involvement of physical, occupational, and speech therapists to regain function.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Strict management of blood pressure, avoidance of blood thinners as advised, and smoking cessation.
- Follow-up Care: Regular neurological check-ups and repeat imaging to monitor healing.
- Support Services: Psychological counseling and support groups for patients and caregivers to cope with recovery challenges.

Sai Nair, a 58-year-old software architect...
Sai Nair, a 58-year-old software architect and avid chess player, had a history of well-managed hypertension. One evening, while reviewing code, he experienced a sudden, explosive headache he described as 'the worst of my life,' followed by nausea, neck stiffness, and blurred vision. His wife rushed him to the ER. A CT scan revealed a subarachnoid haemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm. The consulting neurologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended an endovascular coiling procedure to seal the aneurysm and prevent re-bleeding. Sai was terrified, fearing loss of his cognitive abilities. The minimally invasive procedure went smoothly. Recovery in the Neuro-ICU was slow, marked by headaches and light sensitivity. After two weeks, he was discharged to inpatient rehab. Six months later, Sai has made a remarkable cognitive recovery and is back to part-time work and chess, though he tires easily. His emotional journey was from sheer terror of losing his mind to profound gratitude for his second chance, now advocating for stroke awareness in his community.
