    - NeuroICU admission, NSGY eval
    - NIHSS score ***, GCS ***
    - ICU for q1h neuro checks
    - Goal SBP <160, if aneurysmal SBP <140 (All should receive Nimodipine)

If SAH not found on NCHCT (98% sensitive within first 12 hr, then 50% after 7 days) but strong suspicion, perform LP. Symptomatic aneurysmal SAH should be treated surgically/endovascularly. Asymptomatic unruptured aneurysms should be treated when >12 mm in the anterior circulation, >7 mm in the posterior circulation.
    - NeuroICU admission, NSGY eval
    - NIHSS score ***, GCS ***
    - Hunt and Hess grade *** .
    - WFNS grade ***
    - ICU for q1h neuro checks
