1Yale New Haven Health System, New Haven, CT.
A 30-year-old woman, gravida 1, para 2, in her second trimester presented to the local emergency department complaining of an atraumatic headache described as the worst headache of her life. While undergoing evaluation, she became unresponsive with signs of herniation, including a blown pupil and bradycardia. Emergent imaging identified an intracerebral hemorrhage requiring immediate surgical decompression. The patient was transferred by helicopter to tertiary care. Upon arrival, the patient was taken directly to the operating room and underwent a decompressive craniotomy. This article reviews the considerations for transporting pregnant patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.
