What Is a Hemorrhagic Stroke?
3. A Hemorrhagic Stroke
A hemorrhagic stroke, also known as an intracerebral hemorrhage, is when the blood vessels in the brain rupture. This means the brain’s tissues won’t be getting the oxygen they need. In addition to the lack of oxygen, the bleeding on the brain can also cause the pressure to build inside the brain.
Strokes mean that the patient’s brain cells are being starved of oxygen, and those brain cells could die. Indeed, many who people survive a stroke will have permanent damage to their brain. A stroke is something that must be addressed immediately because the patient’s life is very much in danger.
