🧠 VASOGRADE (SAH DCI Risk)
UseWhen to use: aSAH after WFNS and modified Fisher are known.
StrataYellow/red → closer neuro checks and DCI surveillance per protocol.
LimitsWhen not to use: before aneurysm workup is addressed. · Pitfall: skipping nimodipine/BP targets because grade is green. · Still secure the aneurysm.

Green/Yellow/Red.
When to use
When to use: aSAH after WFNS and modified Fisher are known.
How it works
Red if WFNS IV–V; Yellow if mFisher 3–4 with WFNS I–III; else Green (WFNS I–II & mFisher 1–2).
Key points
- Green/Yellow/Red.
- WFNS + mFisher.
- Next: DCI monitoring pathway.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does VASOGRADE (SAH DCI Risk) upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is VASOGRADE (SAH DCI Risk) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: WFNS grade III, Modified Fisher grade 2 → Result: VASOGRADE Green(WFNS: 3, Modified Fisher: 2, Cue: WFNS I–II and mFisher 1–2 — lower DCI band (still monitor)) Inputs: WFNS grade V, Modified Fisher grade 4 → Result: VASOGRADE Red(WFNS: 5, Modified Fisher: 4, Cue: WFNS IV–V — highest DCI surveillance band)
