Chapter 6. Guidelines of the Management of Hemorrhagic Stroke Flashcards
Incidence of ICH
24.6/100,000
This is the classification of ICH based on Etiology
SMASH-U Structural lesion Medication Amyloid Systemic Disease Hypertension Undetermined cause
This is secondary to weakened arteriolar walls and formation of microaneurysm
Charcot Bouchard Aneurysm
This is the most important cause of ICH in elderly and non-hypertensive
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)
What are clues for CAA
lobar hemorrhage
Multiple
non-hypertensive
Sites of predilection of ICH
Basal ganglia 40-50% Lobar - 20-50% Thalamus - 10-15% Pons 5-15% Cerebellar 5-10%
What blood vessel rupture in putaminal hemorrhage
Ascending lenticulostriate
What blood vessel rupture in thalamic hemorrhage
Thalamogeniculate of PCA
What blood vessel rupture in pontine hemorrhage
paramedian branch of basilar artery
What blood vessel rupture in Cerebellar hemorrhage
penetrating branch of PICA, AICA and SCA
This area when ruptures is considered as neurological emergency
inferior cerebellar hemorrhage
This scoring predict patient with ICH to attain independence at 90 days
FUNC score
When to treat BP of patient with ICH
SBP > 180
What are the treatment for bleeding abnormality secondary to elevated INR to VKA
- Vit K with FFP
2. Prothrombin complex conc alternative to FFP
What are the treatment for bleeding abnormality secondary to NOACs
- Activated cvharcoal
- INR reversal by Platelet concentrate and recombinant FVIIa
- Vit K
The only approved AED prophylactic use
Giant Aneurysm
What is the agent used to reduce cerebral vasospasm
MgSO4
Classification of timing of surgery in SAH
Early: within 72 hours
Late: beyond 3 days
Who are the candidates for early surgery in SAH
- good to moderate grade anuerysm
2. Poor grade aneurysm with hydrocephalus and hematoma
Surgery can be delayed in SAH in the presence of
- ischemia
2. Severe angiographic vasospasm
This is a high flow high pressure vascular lesion that shunts arterial blood to venous system via nidus
Cerebral AVM
Bleeding risk of Cerebral AVM
2-4% per year
