Rapid Evacuation and Access of Cerebral Hemorrhage Trial

"Following randomization into the surgical arm, a competency-trained neurosurgeon will perform the MIPS for clot evacuation with strict adherence to the Surgical Manual of the CSG. Image interpretation, patient position, anesthetic plan, stereotactic navigation registration, exoscopic positioning, access, optics, resection, and hemostasis are detailed in the Surgical Manual of the CSG.~The OR arrival time should occur \<24 hours from the last known normal (LKN) with a goal of arrival in less than 8 hours from the last known normal."

"Following randomization into the medical arm patients will be treated following the Medical Manual of the CSG. The Medical Manual has been adapted by the REACH Executive Committee (REC) from the current American Heart Association (AHA) and American Stroke Association (ASA) Guidelines for the Management of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Whenever clinically feasible, the CSG should be followed as it represents a template for the care of these subjects.~The Medical Manual details specialty level of care, including intensive care placement, blood pressure control, hemostasis and coagulopathy, anemia, deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism prophylaxis/treatment, glucose management, temperature management, seizure prophylaxis, intracranial pressure monitoring and management, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)/obstructive hydrocephalus management, cerebral edema, decompressive hemicraniectomy, nutritional support, respiratory support, and comfort care."
