| Description | Vasospasms occur in 30% of patients after the subarachnoid hemorrhagie (SAH). The most severe spasms are in patients with Hunt IV and V who have usually a lot of blood in the basal cisterns. According to some reports, hypothermia could decrease the incidence and severity or vasospasms in these patients. Hypothermia applied immediately after SAH does not seem to decrease neither the incidence nor the severity of vasospasms in HH IV and V patients after SAH. |
