#ISAH26
PROGRAM
Four days in Sydney covering the full spectrum of aSAH care - from early brain injury and aneurysm securement through to why trials keep failing and what to do about it. Headline debates, world-class plenaries, parallel surgical and ICU streams, and a pre-conference workshop day that includes a multidisciplinary consensus meeting on core outcomes. The program is designed to generate disagreement, not just summarise it.
