Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the timing of heparin administration after ventriculostomy in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) to assess safety and risk of hemorrhagic complications.
- - It analyzed 46 patients and found that early heparinization (within 4 hours) led to a significantly higher rate of tract hemorrhages (58.8%) compared to those treated after 4 hours.
- - The conclusion suggests delaying heparin use for at least 4 hours post-ventriculostomy to minimize the risk of serious complications in patients undergoing treatment for ruptured aneurysms.
