[[Intermittent pneumatic compression]] should be applied to patients with sICH on the day of [[hospital admission]]. After documentation of bleeding cessation, early initiation of pharmacological [[Venous Thromboembolism]] [[prophylaxis]] (24 h to 48 h from sICH onset) seems to be safe and effective in [[pulmonary embolism]] [[prophylaxis]] ((Dong C, Li Y, Ma Md Z.
