Early assessment

intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a medical emergency. Rapid diagnosis and management is crucial because early deterioration is common in the first few hours after ICH onset.

Prehospital Management

• Provide ventilatory support
• Provide cardiovascular support
• Transport the patient to the closest facility
  • Plan for rapid transfer to a tertiary care center

Emergency Department Management The crucial resources necessary to manage patients with ICH include:

• Neurology
• Neuroradiology
• Neurosurgery
• Critical care facilities (adequately trained nurses and physicians)
