What is the current management strategy for medical complications in ICH patients?
The current management strategy for medical complications in ICH patients is focused on prevention and targeting these complications as they arise. Due to limited information regarding ICH-specific issues, screening and monitoring are keys to detecting these events. Management at this time is focused on prevention and targeting these complications as they arise. A formal screening procedure for dysphagia should be performed in all patients before the initiation of oral intake to reduce the risk of pneumonia and systematic screening for myocardial ischemia or infarction with electrocardiogram and cardiac enzyme testing after ICH is reasonable. Because of limited information regarding ICH-specific issues, these should be considered areas for future study. The identification of preventive or treatment strategies for other medical complications will also require further studies focused on ICH patients.
