Spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhages (SAH) are a particularly severe type of stroke with a tendency to affect younger individuals than other types of stroke. The condition is time critical as early neurosurgical treatment is needed. The aim of this study is to determine the delay from when a patient with SAH calls the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to they are admitted to a neurosurgical department. Further, it is the aim to determine predictors for increased delay and to examine the accuracy of the triage tool used by the EMS.
