ABSTRACT:
Sudden bleeding into the subarachnoid space is known as subarachnoid hemorrhage. The majorities of aneurysms are asymptomatic, and do not burst, but when they gradually grow unpredictably increase the risk of rupture and starts bleeding internally into subarachnoid space which is dangerous. Aneurysms can happen to anyone at any age. Proper diagnosis at right time can prevent rupture and serious complication due to SAH which may alter level of consciousness and other physiological functions in body. The assessment, Monitoring, Treatment and their outcome prediction is complex and challenging for nurses. The Hunt and Hess scale is useful for identifying severity of SAH and predictor of patient outcome.
