In the days, weeks, months, and even years after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, patients are vulnerable to lots of serious complications. In the episode Dr. Hoh and Dr. Ko are joined by Kiffon Keigher, a nurse practitioner with decades experience in neuroscience, stroke, and neurocritical care. They discuss the essential role that nurses play in caring for patients after their aneurysm is treated, including closely monitoring for complications and treating them quickly when they do arise. Patients can crash quickly, so it is essential to know how to prevent, detect, and treat these serious complications as quickly and effectively as possible. And as patients, their family, and the multidisciplinary care team prepare for discharge, it's important to carefully evaluate their mental and physical state, so they can be set up for success as they return to their life.
