After administration of dehydrants the patient's condition somewhat improved. What is the main component of further emergency care?

Answer options

1. Coagulants
2. Corticosteroids
3. Anticoagulants
4. Antiaggregants
5. Fibrinolytics

Explanation

To stop bleeding in the diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage, coagulants are administered. Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. It potentially results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair. The mechanism of coagulation involves activation, adhesion, and aggregation of platelets, as well as deposition and maturation of fibrin.
