Activity Description

Intracranial hemorrhage comprises 4 broad types of hemorrhage, including epidural hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intraparenchymal hemorrhage. The first 2 types of hemorrhages—epidural and subdural—are referred to as extra-axial hemorrhages, whereas the latter 2 hemorrhages—subarachnoid and intraparenchymal—are categorized as intra-axial. Each type of hemorrhage arises from distinct etiologies, leading to variable clinical findings, prognosis, and outcomes.

Immediate neurosurgical consultation is strongly advised for all cases of hemorrhage, especially when alarming signs such as airway compromise, respiratory failure, or hemodynamic instability are evident. Proper evaluation, imaging, and monitoring for signs of impending deterioration should guide the implementation of best practice management. Early neurosurgical consultation is essential, as management strategies vary depending on the type of hemorrhage. This activity offers a comprehensive overview of intracranial hemorrhage types and the crucial role of the interprofessional healthcare team in treating patients experiencing various types of intracranial hemorrhages. This activity also enables clinicians to gain insights into integrating specialist consultation with evidence-based clinical judgment to mitigate the risk of morbidity and mortality associated with intracranial hemorrhages.

Scenarios should be based on the article, not on your individual knowledge or assumptions because it’s not helpful to just throw things in the assessment out of no where- not outlined .
