STROKE, HEMORRHAGIC

Course overview

Hemorrhagic stroke floods the brain with blood when a brain artery leaks or ruptures. There are two different forms of hemorrhagic stroke: intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), which refers to bleeding into brain tissue, and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), which occurs in the cranial subarachnoid space. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of hemorrhagic stroke, including its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
