Overview

Pharmacologic therapy in patients with intracranial hemorrhage includes the administration of agents to reverse the underlying coagulopathies. Other measures that should be taken into account while managing a patient with intracranial hemorrhage include the management of airway, intracranial pressure, and seizure.

  • Management of Seizure
  • Management of Airway

Medical Therapy

Pharmacologic therapy in patients with intracranial hemorrhage include:[1]

  • Hemostatic therapy to correct the underlying coagulopathies. Agents that can be used to achieve this goal may differ based on the oral anticoagulant agent which resulted in the bleeding complications.
  • The following agents can be used for warfarin reversal:[2][3][4]
    • Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP)
    • Prothrombin Complex Concentrates (PCCs)
  • Protamine sulfate is another agent that can be used for heparin-induced Intracranial hemorrhage.[5]

Other measures that should be taken into account while managing a patient with intracranial hemorrhage include:

  • Management of Intracranial Pressure
  • Management of Seizure
  • Management of Airway
