RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Management of acute intracerebral haemorrhage – an update JF Clinical Medicine JO Clin Med FD Royal College of Physicians SP 166 OP 172 DO 10.7861/clinmedicine.17-2-166 VO 17 IS 2 A1 Zhe Kang Law A1 Jason P Appleton A1 Philip M Bath A1 Nikola Sprigg YR 2017 UL http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/17/2/166.abstract AB Managing acute intracerebral haemorrhage is a challenging task for physicians. Evidence shows that outcome can be improved with admission to an acute stroke unit and active care, including urgent reversal of anticoagulant effects and, potentially, intensive blood pressure reduction. Nevertheless, many management issues remain controversial, including the use of haemostatic therapy, selection of patients for neurosurgery and neurocritical care, the extent of investigations for underlying causes and the benefit versus risk of restarting antithrombotic therapy after an episode of intracerebral haemorrhage.
