Treating hemorrhage means dealing with the bleeding in the brain, which mostly occurs because of an aneurysm. A proper diagnosis is essential before this procedure.

Surgery/clipping: this surgical intervention requires locating the exact position of the aneurysm beforehand. A craniotomy is done to allow surgeons access to the aneurysm. Micro clips are used to deflate the dilated vessel and halt bleeding from the burst vessel. There’s a 14-day intensive care period post-surgery. At this time there is close monitoring of any complications that may arise because of surgery. The intracranial pressure, that is the pressure exerted by the fluid enclosing the brain is closely monitored. Clinicians make sure there is no swelling in the brain or vasospasms after the surgery. Angiographs are taken to ensure that proper blood supply is restored in the region.
