Sodium and Its Impact on Outcome After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Patients With and Without Delayed Cerebral Ischemia

Crit Care MedPublished Observational cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Sodium levels, hyponatremia, and sodium fluctuations were not associated with the occurrence of DCI. However, higher sodium levels, hypernatremia, and greater sodium fluctuations were associated with poor outcome after aSAH irrespective of the presence of DCI.
