Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a disease with high mortality and morbidity due in large part to delayed effects of the hemorrhage, including vasospasm, and delayed cerebral ischemia. These two are now recognized as overlapping yet distinct entities, and supportive therapies for delayed cerebral ischemia are predicated on identifying DCI as quickly as possible. The purpose of this overview is to highlight diagnostic tools that are being used in the identification of DCI in the neurocritical care settings.
