This aSAH PechaKucha is 12 years old. The emergency framework holds. The 2012 guidelines don't. TXA and coiling-vs-clipping have both moved on.
Sharing it as a warm-up β ISAH 2026 is running a PK competition. Best entries present in Sydney.

Decades of DCI trials. Still on nimodipine.
Jose Suarez (Johns Hopkins) breaks down why: flawed models, skipped phase 2, single-pathway thinking & makes the case for combination therapy.

I made a podcast with two AIs. One confidently misrepresented a landmark trial. On SAH. In real time. That's not a bug. That's the point. NeuroResus Ep 1 is live - GCS 8, buggered autoregulation, and ED chaos. π§ neuroresus.com/2026/04/30/saβ¦ #NeuroResus #SAH #FOAMed @IntSAH

Important meeting. @IntSAH is one of the few forums actually taking on the uncertainty in aneurysm and SAH care rather than pretending itβs solved.
Serious people, real debates, and the kind of cross-specialty discussion we donβt get enough of.
Sydney, Nov 2026. Worth your timeπ
7 editions. Never once in the Southern Hemisphere.
Until now.
The International Subarachnoid Haemorrhage Conference is coming to Sydney - 1 disease, every discipline, the faculty who are actually building the field.

More intervention β better outcome.
We still haven't solved that.

Nerissa Ko helped write the SAH guidelines.
We asked her why nobody follows them.
3 reasons:
β Disease is too heterogeneous
β Evidence base too thin
β We haven't agreed on the right outcomes yet
That's the conversation. #ISAH2026 Sydney, November.

"Less than 8, intubate."
Sure. But what if she's postictal and about to wake up?
What if intubation tanks the BP?
What if the pressure spike causes a rebleed?
GCS 8 is a data point. Not a decision.
