Medical stabilization is aimed at preventing early complications, including brain edema, hydrocephalus, and rebleeding, as well as the late complication of vasospasm. Treatment options include bed rest with elevation of the head of the bed to 30 degrees, nimodipine (a calcium channel blocker to prevent vasospasm), seizure prophylaxis, antiemetics, analgesia, and labetalol or other agents as needed for blood pressure control.
