Brief Answer:
Then do as advised, SAH may not be that large.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being in follow-up.

Well....If the neurosurgeon has said so, you may follow his instructions. Probably, SAH is not that large to cause any serious concern.

Adequate hydration is very important and equally important is to monitor his serum sodium levels.

Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.
