Abstract
- Pharmacological management of intracerebral hemorrhage in adult patients over 65 years of age requires special considerations due to differing clinical presentations, underlying organ dysfunction, and more complex medical histories and medication profiles. A literature review of articles focusing on the age-specific pharmacological management of intracerebral hemorrhage was conducted. Treatment approaches and clinical outcomes specific to older adults were evaluated and therapeutic considerations for this population are summarized. Older adults were commonly included in trials regarding reversal of anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents and these results are generalizable to older adults. Underlying organ dysfunction should frequently be considered throughout the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage in older adults. Older adults with intracerebral hemorrhage should be managed similarly to younger adult patients; however, consideration of age-related comorbidities and physiological differences is critically important for optimizing patient care.
