Mastering Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Evidence, Execution, and Evolving Treatment Strategies in Neurocritical Care

Mastering Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Evidence, Execution, and Evolving Treatment Strategies in Neurocritical Care is organized by Neurocritical Care Society (NCS) and will be held on May 28, 2026.

Description:
This session will provide an in-depth, interprofessional exploration of contemporary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) care, tailored for neurocritical care physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, and pharmacists. Faculty will review current evidence and guidelines, practical bedside management strategies, and systems-based approaches to delivering timely, coordinated ICH care across settings. Through case-based discussion and real-world implementation pearls, participants will examine evolving therapies and consider how best to integrate these advances into everyday neurocritical care practice.

Masterclass Objectives: 

1. Explain evidence-based blood pressure targets, agent selection, and titration strategies in acute ICH, and outline how clinicians collaborate to achieve timely and sustained BP control and monitor for treatment-related adverse effects.
2. Describe contemporary strategies for rapid reversal of anticoagulant-associated ICH and discuss how to operationalize time-sensitive quality metrics across the interprofessional neurocritical care team.
3. Evaluate the role of minimally invasive surgical approaches to ICH evacuation in light of recent clinical trials, and discuss practical considerations for patient selection, workflow integration, and post-procedural management in everyday practice outside of clinical trials.
