Prevention
Treat high blood pressure. Studies show that 80% of cerebral hemorrhage patients have a history of high blood pressure. The single most important thing you can do is control yours through diet, exercise, and medication.
Don’t use drugs. Cocaine, for example, can increase the risk of bleeding in the brain.
Be careful with warfarin (Coumadin). If you take this blood-thinning drug follow up regularly with your doctor to make sure your blood levels are in the correct range
If you ride a motorcycle, bicycle or skateboard, always wear a helmet.
Drive carefully, and wear your seat belt.

Definition
A brain hemorrhage is a type of stroke. It's caused by an artery in the brain bursting and causing localized bleeding in the surrounding tissues. This bleeding kills brain cells.
Treatment
Put pressure on the would, pressure wound with a bandage or a clean cloth
Pathophysiology
Acute hemorrhage causes a decreased cardiac output and decreased pulse pressure. These changes are sensed by baroreceptors in the aortic arch and atrium. With a decrease in the circulating volume, neural reflexes cause an increased sympathetic outflow to the heart and other organs.
