The CT scan reveals a hemorrhage in the right internal capsule, suggestive of acute hypertensive hemorrhagic stroke. We have seen other bundles, in conditions like sepsis, that did not ultimately turn out to be better than usual care (ARISE, ProMISe and ProCESS). Goal-directed resuscitation for patients with early septic shock.
