Management of ICH
ABC-ICH is a bundle of care with three main interventions which have been shown to improve patient outcomes:

- Intensive Blood pressure lowering
- Care pathway – ensuring all appropriate patients are transferred to their local HASU and those meeting referral criteria are referred to neurosurgery
