Hemorrhagic stroke (Advanced clinician)
An advanced study sequence on ICH and aSAH: guideline essentials, complication monitoring, and quality/performance measures. Focuses on decision frameworks and escalation behaviors (no dosing/threshold memorization).
Educational only
Educational only — follow local neurocritical care protocols and the full guideline for thresholds/dosing.

Treat neurologic deterioration as an emergency: escalate immediately per ICU/unit protocol and activate neurosurgery/neurocritical pathways.
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
Lessons in this course
Study module: spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) guideline essentials (2022 AHA/ASA)
High-yield ICH study module aligned to the 2022 AHA/ASA ICH guideline: initial evaluation, BP management concepts, anticoagulation reversal themes, neurosurgical considerations, ICU monitoring, and secondary prevention themes (no dosing/protocol thresholds).
Study module: ICH performance + quality measures (QI implementation)
Study module translating ICH guideline concepts into QI practice: performance measures, documentation, audit-and-feedback, and common failure modes (conceptual).
Study module: aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) guideline essentials (2023 AHA/ASA)
High-yield aSAH study module aligned to the 2023 AHA/ASA aSAH guideline: recognition, acute stabilization, aneurysm securing concepts, vasospasm/DCI concepts, complications, and ICU monitoring priorities (conceptual; no protocols).
Study module: aSAH complications (vasospasm/DCI, hydrocephalus, seizures) — monitoring concepts
Study module focusing on aSAH complications and monitoring: vasospasm/DCI, hydrocephalus, electrolyte disturbances, seizures—organized by ‘what to watch for’ and escalation triggers (conceptual).
