A haemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the I brain ruptures.
amp;#183; There are two kinds of stroke: with an ischaemic stroke, the blood supply to the brain has been blocked, usually by a clot; a haemorrhagic stroke is caused by bleeding in or around the brain.
Our service includes immediate CT scanning of patients and, if appropriate, the first dose of the alteplase bolus (clot dissolving agent) for Thrombolysis will be given in the scanning room once haemorrhagic stroke is excluded.
