About Brain Haemorrhage

A brain haemorrhage, also known as an intracranial haemorrhage, is a life-threatening medical emergency where bleeding occurs within the skull. This procedure, managed by a neurologist, involves the critical diagnosis and medical stabilization of the condition. The neurologist's role is central in identifying the bleed's location (such as subarachnoid, intracerebral, or subdural) using advanced imaging like CT or MRI scans. Immediate treatment focuses on controlling bleeding, reducing intracranial pressure, and preventing secondary brain damage. This may include medication, careful blood pressure management, and monitoring in a neuro-intensive care unit. The neurologist coordinates with neurosurgeons if surgical intervention is required and oversees long-term neurological rehabilitation to manage potential deficits like paralysis, speech difficulties, or cognitive changes.

Key Highlights

    Immediate, expert neurological assessment to determine the type and severity of the bleed.Coordinated care in a specialized Neuro-ICU to stabilize vital signs and reduce brain swelling.Advanced imaging guidance (CT/MRI) for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.Medical management to control bleeding, blood pressure, and prevent seizures.Ongoing neurological monitoring to detect and manage complications early.Integrated rehabilitation planning to address potential long-term functional deficits./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Sudden, severe headache (often described as "the worst headache of my life").
  • Neurological deficits such as weakness, numbness, or paralysis on one side of the body.
  • Difficulty with speech, vision, balance, or coordination.
  • Nausea, vomiting, or loss of consciousness.
  • Seizures with no prior history.
  • Trauma to the head (leading to subdural or epidural hematoma).
  • Rupture of a cerebral aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation (AVM).
  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure (hypertensive hemorrhage).

How to prepare

  • Emergency assessment: Immediate neurological examination upon arrival at the hospital.
  • Diagnostic imaging: Rapid CT scan of the head is the first-line test to confirm bleeding.
  • Stabilization: Securing airway, breathing, and circulation in the emergency department.
  • Medical history: Quick review of patient's history, medications (especially blood thinners), and allergies.
  • Blood tests: To check clotting function, blood count, and electrolyte levels.
  • Informed consent: For procedures, explained to the patient or family given the critical nature.

Risks & possible complications

  • Increased intracranial pressure leading to further brain damage or herniation.
  • Re-bleeding at the original site of the hemorrhage.
  • Development of vasospasm (narrowing of brain blood vessels), risking stroke.
  • Hydrocephalus (build-up of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain).
  • Permanent neurological deficits such as paralysis, speech impairment, or memory loss.
  • Seizures (post-hemorrhagic epilepsy).
  • Infections, particularly if surgical intervention or external ventricular drain is placed.
  • Medical complications from prolonged immobility, like blood clots or pneumonia.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Intensive Care: Initial recovery in a Neuro-ICU with continuous monitoring of neurological status.
  • Medication Management: Ongoing use of drugs to control blood pressure, prevent seizures, and manage pain.
  • Rehabilitation: Early involvement of physical, occupational, and speech therapists to regain function.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Strict management of blood pressure, avoidance of blood thinners as advised, and smoking cessation.
  • Follow-up Care: Regular neurological check-ups and repeat imaging to monitor healing.
  • Support Services: Psychological counseling and support groups for patients and caregivers to cope with recovery challenges.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 10-21 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 3-6 months (for initial functional recovery; full recovery can take a year or more)

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
