The principles of nursing care for subarachnoid haemorrhage are:

  • continuous observation
  • intravenous access
  • headache may be relieved with mild analgesics, e.g. paracetamol or codeine. Aspirin must be avoided.
  • keep stools soft by administering oral laxatives and ensuring an adequate fluid intake other than milk.
  • short-acting benzodiazepines to alleviate distress.
