Abstract

PIGRETTI, Santiago G. et al. Recommendations for the management of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage during hospitalization. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2022, vol.82, suppl.4, pp.1-56. ISSN 0025-7680.

Stroke is the leading cause of neurological disability in people over 40 years of age and the fourth leading cause of death in Argentina. In the last ten years, the indexed publications related to the treatment of ischemic stroke were more numerous than those of hemorrhagic stroke. The objective of this material is to provide local and updated recommendations for the management of patients with spontaneous intracere- bral hemorrhage during hospitalization. For the writing of this manuscript, diferent specialists were convened to form working groups. Ten central topics expressed as epidemiology, initial care, imaging, blood pressure treatment, reversal of antithrombotics, indication for surgery, seizure prophylaxis, prognosis, prevention of complications and resumption of antithrombotics were raised. For each topic, the most frequent questions of daily practice were raised through PICO questions. After a systematic review of the literature, recommendations were generated, evaluated using the GRADE system and agreed between authors and patients.

Keywords : Intracerebral hemorrhage; Hemorrhagic stroke; Epidemiology; Surgery; Medical management.
