Anotace: The target of neurocritical care is maintenance of intracranial and systemic (extracranial) homeostasis including prevention, timely detection, and treatment of all systemic complications. These systemic complications could potentially cause secondary brain damage, thereby influencing the mortality and outcome of neurocritically ill patients. Due to the variety of cases admitted to the neurointensive care unit (NICU), nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage will be taken as an example to describe the complications associated with catastrophic brain injury.
