Medical and surgical management of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has been extensively studied, with numerous organizations conducting critical reviews of the scientific literature to formulate evidence-based recommendations. However, nursing management of this population has been examined less, and evidence-based recommendations are needed to guide nursing care when working with these high-risk patients.

In response, the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses (AANN) appointed a writing group to conduct a critical review of the literature to determine best-practice recommendations for nursing care of patients with aSAH.
