Activity Description

Cerebrovascular accident, commonly known as stroke, ranks as the second leading cause of death globally and a major contributor to long-term disability. Stroke may be ischemic, caused by interruption of blood flow to the brain, or hemorrhagic, which involves bleeding into brain tissue or the subarachnoid space. Hemorrhagic strokes, though less common, carry the highest mortality and often result from hypertension, anticoagulation, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, or vascular malformations. This course reviews the rapid recognition, imaging, and intervention of hemorrhagic stroke that are critical to prevent neurological deterioration. Management of this condition, including blood pressure control, reversal of coagulopathy, seizure management, intracranial pressure monitoring, and, in selected cases, surgical intervention, as well as advances in minimally invasive hematoma evacuation, neurocritical care, and interprofessional rehabilitation, are also discussed. 

This activity outlines the recognition, diagnosis, and integration of evidence-based strategies for the acute management of hemorrhagic stroke, the prevention of complications, and the mitigation of secondary injury while tailoring care to patient-specific risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke. Participants gain updated knowledge on imaging modalities, acute and surgical interventions, blood pressure and intracranial pressure management, coagulopathy reversal, seizure control, and rehabilitation strategies. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner's competence in identifying hemorrhagic stroke, performing the recommended evaluation, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional approach to manage this condition, thereby optimizing patient outcomes.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the clinical manifestations associated with hemorrhagic stroke to support timely recognition.

  • Apply current evidence-based management recommendations for hemorrhagic stroke. 

  • Interpret imaging features that differentiate primary hemorrhagic stroke from secondary causes to guide further evaluation.

  • Coordinate interprofessional management strategies to coordinate care and improve patient outcomes in those with hemorrhagic stroke.
