Santiago Cepeda Chafla: CereBleed Simplifies Brain Hemorrhage Assessment
Santiago Cepeda Chafla, Neurosurgery Consultant at Río Hortega University Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in World Neurosurgery, adding:
”Many thanks to Christopher Kellner and Jack Haslett for inviting me to write a short piece for the News section of World Neurosurgery.
Most scales for intracerebral hemorrhage rely on subjective elements.
Deep learning methods, on the other hand, classify the type of bleed or measure its volume.
CereBleed goes one step further: it turns hemorrhage severity into a single number.
In a way, it is the Glasgow scale of imaging.
A common language for emergency physicians, radiologists, intensivists and neurosurgeons.
This is especially useful when the neurosurgeon is on call from home. It can also help avoid unnecessary transfers.
No more long narrative reports.
No more ambiguous wording.
No more subjectivity.
- Severity index above 300: surgery is likely.
- Around 200: hospital admission.
- Below 100: observation is probably enough.
Each value reflects how severe the bleed is and how urgently we need to act. Simple and practical.”
