About this trial
This is an open-label, dose-escalation study on the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy for preventing stroke-associated pneumonia of propranolol in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Propranolol is administered via intravenous pump continuously for 7 days.

Treatments tested in this trial
Intravenous Pump-Delivered Propranolol
DrugDuring the dose escalation phase, the proposed five dose levels of intravenous pump infusion of propranolol hydrochloride injection are as follows: * 0.01 mg/kg/h, administered as one group over 2 hours; repeated every 6 hours, with 3 groups per 24 hours, avoiding the period from 02:00 to 06:00 at night; * 0.02 mg/kg/h, administered as one group over 2 hours; repeated every 6 hours, with 3 groups per 24 hours, avoiding the period from 02:00 to 06:00 at night; * 0.03 mg/kg/h, administered as one group over 2 hours; repeated every 6 hours, with 3 groups per 24 hours, avoiding the period from 02:00 to 06:00 at night; ④ 0.04 mg/kg/h, administered as one group over 2 hours; repeated every 6 hours, with 3 groups per 24 hours, avoiding the period from 02:00 to 06:00 at night; ⑤ 0.05 mg/kg/h, administered as one group over 2 hours; repeated every 6 hours, with 3 groups per 24 hours, avoiding the period from 02:00 to 06:00 at night.
