Implementation of an evidence-based protocol for headache management in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients

Abstract

Headache management post-subarachnoid hemorrhage can be challenging due to the inability to use commonly prescribed medications and variations in practice. The literature is lacking in management strategies for this population. This presentation will show how an evidence-based headache protocol can improve headache, decrease rescue medications, and decrease variations in practice.
