If a patient develops new or worsening stroke symptoms, reduced consciousness, seizure, severe headache, airway/swallowing danger, or unstable vital signs, activate emergency response and follow local stroke escalation protocols.

Key takeaways

  • Summarize ICH and aSAH guideline domains at a high level
  • Recognize key complication patterns requiring urgent escalation
  • Connect guideline concepts to bedside monitoring and documentation
  • Apply a QI lens using performance measures and audit-and-feedback

Key takeaways

  • Summarize ICH and aSAH guideline domains at a high level
  • Advanced stroke care requires reconciling the clinical syndrome with timing, imaging, medication risk, patient context, and local pathway capacity.
  • A safe plan names escalation thresholds, responsible clinicians, patient-facing instructions, and the next step if results or symptoms change.
