Acute Management of Anticoagulation-Associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the most serious forms of stroke is intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) as fewer than 30 % of patients recover to functional independence and the one-year mortality rate of over 50 % is very high [1–3]. In hemorrhagic stroke, oral anticoagulation-associated intracerebral hemorrhage (OAC-ICH) is of particular concern because it is associated with larger hemorrhage volumes, increased ventricular extensions, and more frequent and protracted hematoma enlargement [4–7]. All of these parameters are validated for a negative prognosis, which is even poorer considering the patient characterReview

Should anticoagulation be resumed after intracerebral hemorrhage?
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most feared and the most deadly complication of oral anticoagulant therapy, eg, with warfarin (Coumadin). After such an event, clinicians wonder whether their patients should resume anticoagulant therapy. The authors review the management of anticoagulation during and after anticoagulation-associated ICH.
متن کاملA study of the factors associated with non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with chronic systemic hypertension
Objective: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) following systemic and chronic hypertension is one of the main causes of acute stroke leading to disability and death. Identifying the risk factors in ICH patients can be effective in reducing bleeding and the rates of mortality and disability in these patients. This study was carried out to investigate the factors associated with ICH.Methods: A t...
متن کاملTreatment of warfarin-associated intracerebral hemorrhage: literature review and expert opinion.
Wider use of oral anticoagulants has led to an increasing frequency of warfarin-related intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The high early mortality of approximately 50% has remained stable in recent decades. In contrast to spontaneous ICH, the duration of bleeding is 12 to 24 hours in many patients, offering a longer opportunity for intervention. Treatment varies widely, and optimal therapy has ye...

متن کاملThe acute management of intracerebral hemorrhage: a clinical review.
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disease with high rates of mortality and morbidity. The major risk factors for ICH include chronic arterial hypertension and oral anticoagulation. After the initial hemorrhage, hematoma expansion and perihematoma edema result in secondary brain damage and worsened outcome. A rapid onset of focal neurological deficit with clinical signs of increase...
