	Postpartum Hemorrhage - Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
		About 4 percent of women have postpartum hemorrhage and it is more likely with a cesarean birth.
		Hemorrhage may occur before or after the placenta is delivered.
		The aim of treatment of postpartum hemorrhage is to find and stop the cause of the bleeding as quickly as possible.

	Lifespan's A - Z Health Information Library - Intracerebral hemorrhage
		An intracerebral hemorrhage is bleeding in the brain caused by the rupture of a blood vessel within the head.
		The bleeding may be isolated to part of one hemisphere (lobar intracerebral hemorrhage) or it may occur in other brain structures, such as the thalamus, basal ganglia, pons, or cerebellum (deep intracerebral hemorrhage).
		An intracerebral hemorrhage can be caused by a traumatic brain injury or abnormalities of the blood vessels (aneurysm or angioma).

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Hemorrhagic stroke
		About 20% of strokes are hemorrhagic -- but the other 80% are caused by the opposite problem: too little blood reaching an area of the brain, which is usually due to a clot that has blocked a blood vessel.
		The most important test to confirm the presence of a brain hemorrhage is a CT scan, which provides pictures of the brain.
		A person having a hemorrhagic stroke may be unable to protect the airway during coughing or sneezing because of impaired consciousness.

	ISTA :: Conditions :: Vitreous Hemorrhage
		The immediate consequence of a vitreous hemorrhage is a reduction in the amount of light that can pass through the normally clear vitreous humor to the retina.
		The effects of a hemorrhage can be limited to a few dark spots in vision or, in the case of a severe vitreous hemorrhage, can result in completely obscured vision.
		Hemorrhage density can vary significantly between patients who experience vitreous hemorrhage, but even a mild hemorrhage indicates the existence of a serious problem.

		Determination of the extent of hemorrhage is important since most follow-up studies have found that the probability of neurologic morbidity (cognitive, motor, etc.) is high (>50% depending upon the study) for more extensive hemorrhage (grade III and IV).
		Many hemorrhages will be clinically silent, and very few hemorrhages have a catastrophic presentation (e.g., profound alteration in neurologic state, hypotension, apnea, bulging fontanel, drop in hematocrit, etc.).
		Once a hemorrhage has been identified by screening ultrasound, the pediatric house officer then becomes responsible for ordering ultrasounds on a weekly basis until it is clear that the hemorrhage has resolved and that there has been no progression of ventricular size.

		A subarachnoid hemorrhage is bleeding from a damaged artery at the surface of the brain.
		When a subarachnoid hemorrhage is caused by a ruptured saccular aneurysm, the aneurysm usually is located where a blood vessel branches from one of these large arteries.
		Subarachnoid hemorrhages commonly cause arteries nearest to the site of bleeding to spasm and become narrower, so medicines such as nimodipine may be used to partially protect you against this reaction.

		It does not take a lot of blood to cause a vocal fold hemorrhage, so this kind of bleeding is in no way a risk to a person’s overall health or life.
		It is typical for a hemorrhage to happen as a result of a specific event that required strenuous voice use, like a musical performance, or speaking over the noise at a party or cheering at a baseball game.
		Repeated hemorrhage, on the other hand, always has an underlying cause, be it a harmful voice behavior or an irregularity on the vocal fold.

	Subconjunctival hemorrhage (broken blood vessel in eye) - MayoClinic.com
		The conjunctiva can't absorb the blood quickly, so you're left with the equivalent of a bruise, except the blood is trapped under this transparent surface instead of the skin.
		This may create a rather frightening picture, but a subconjunctival hemorrhage is usually a harmless condition that disappears within 10 to 14 days.
		Subconjunctival hemorrhage often occurs without any injury to the eye, or it may be the result of a strong sneeze or cough causing a broken blood vessel.
