Perm J
March 2017
Research Scientist and Emergency Physician with the Department of Research and Evaluation for Kaiser Permanente Southern California in Pasadena.
Context: Patients receiving anticoagulant medications who experience minor head injury are at increased risk of an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) developing, even after an initial computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain yields normal findings. Conflicting evidence exists regarding the frequency at which delayed bleeding occurs.
Objective: To identify the frequency of delayed traumatic ICH in patients receiving warfarin or clopidogrel.
