What is Guidelines for the Management of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage and explain in detail?
This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. It was approved by the American Heart Association Science Advisory and Coordinating Committee and the American Heart Association Executive Committee and is available on the American Heart Association website and Stroke journal. It covers topics such as management of coagulopathy and blood pressure, prevention and control of secondary brain injury and intracranial pressure, the role of surgery, outcome prediction, rehabilitation, secondary prevention, and future considerations. Prehospital management for ICH is similar to that for ischemic stroke, with the primary objective being to provide airway management, cardiovascular support, and transport the patient to the closest facility prepared to care for patients with acute stroke. The document also provides recommendations for the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's methods of classifying the level of certainty of the treatment effect and the class of evidence.
