Emergency Department Management of Postthrombolysis Intracranial Hemorrhage

Intracranial hemorrhage following intravenous thrombolytic therapy most commonly occurs within 12 hours of administration. Because many patients remain in the emergency department during this period, a structured, time-sensitive approach to recognition and management is critical. This review summarizes current recommendations for the diagnostic workup, use of reversal agents, and escalation of care for postthrombolysis intracranial hemorrhage, with particular attention to guidelines addressing stroke and neurocritical care management. Contraindications to intravenous thrombolysis and risk factors for postthrombolysis intracranial hemorrhage are also discussed.
