See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We retrospectively reviewed consecutive intensive care unit patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)and hydrocephalus who were treated with ventriculostomy to determine intracranial pressure (ICP,Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS),and ventricular volume before and after ventriculostomy.Of 22 patients studied,ICP was controlled at<20 mmHg in 20.Only one patient had improvement in both hydrocephalus and GCS.The three patients who survived to 3 months(modified Rankin scores of 0,0,and 1)were characterized by very small ICH volumes and stable or improving hydrocephalus and GCS.
