I believe so. There is a marker that is used of x hours (I can't remember how many) when they worry less.
A friend's daughter has just recovered from one she had just six weeks ago.
I hope everything is OK.

"Anyone know if the survival chances increases every hour that passes? "
In broad terms yes but it's not as clearcut as being a yes or no answer.
I hope that they pull through though |

Recovery is different for everyone, a lot also depends on where the bleed was. Some make a relatively full recovery and others suffer more serious long term effects.
There's some good support available for people who've suffered ABI's due to hemorrage, strokes or accidents. |

"Anyone know if the survival chances increases every hour that passes? "
Our granddaughter had one a few years ago.
Her brain was compressed into 25% of the skull cavity before the bleed was diagnosed (about 4 weeks).
It was then a fast ambulance ride under full police escort from the general hospital to a specislt unit which drilled the skul and put in a drain.
She lost her sight due to the pressure on the optic nerve and is only now getting some vision back 3 years down the line.
As long as the bleed is drained slowly (so as not to cause damege due to rapidy pressure changes, there is apparently a good survival rate.
We were told the cricital thing was not time but management. |

"She's still alive at the moment, 18 hours on. They are reviewing to see if they can operate. "
I hope everything turns out ok. I know two people that have recovered from them. xx |

Sorry to hear your misfortune.
Apart from what have been described brilliantly above by the others, it also depends on the aetiology and type of the bleed (intraparenchymal, subarachnoid, subdural or extradural).
Different kind of bleed/haemorhage from different underlying disease might carry different prognosis.
Some might require urgent surgical intervention, some might be better to be left alone.
Im sure they are giving her the best treatment?

with a Subarachnoid haemorrhage they prefer to monitor before deciding on the treatment; so they can balance the risks.
they will have done a ct scan to find the bleed then they can decide which way to go whether it's fitting a clip or to do an cranial op. they may have a drain fitted to relieve the pressure. after 18 hrs the odds are getting better but till they regain conscious it is impossible to say how well they will be
hope all goes well |

Just an update.
She's being moved from ICU to am high dependency ward and slowly getting better every day.
Thanks for the help, as the person I would normally count on for help and support, my best friend, is the one in hospital. |
