Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) causes 10% to 15% of first-ever strokes, resulting in high rates of morbidity and mortality. The American Heart Association (AHA) originally published guidelines for the management of spontaneous ICH in 1999. Since that time, 16 pilot and larger randomized medical and surgical trials for ICH/intraventricular hemorrhage have been published. In June of 2007, the AHA and the American Stroke Association (ASA) published an update to the guidelines. This program focuses on the new 2007 AHA/ASA Guidelines for the Management of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Adults. Presented by an expert in ICH, this activity details the new evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and management of ICH, including new recommendations for initial diagnostic evaluations and brain imaging, blood pressure and seizure management, reversing anticoagulation and warfarin, reducing hematoma expansion, management of elevated ICP, restarting anticoagulation, surgical technique and timing, and other issues in medical management. The presentation discusses recent findings from medical and surgical trials, providing stroke team members with evidence-based medicine that they can apply in the treatment of patients.
