Acute Ischemic Stroke

Journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, 1998
To optimize the recovery outcome of those with acute ischemic stroke, several steps need to be taken and strengthened by the public and medical personnel. These include immediate identification of stroke symptoms and appropriate actions, quick access to EMS, rapid EMS response, treatment and evacuation, early communication to the medical facility ...

Acute Ischemic Stroke

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 1996
While case fatality rates in ischemic stroke tend to decline, the total number of strokes is expected to increase further in the future because of more people reaching a greater age. Acute ischemic stroke, usually caused by chronic arterial hypertension, in most cases is induced either by a sudden loss of perfusion pressure or by thromboembolism ...

Cyclosporine in acute ischemic stroke

Neurology, 2015
We examined whether IV administration of cyclosporine in combination with thrombolysis might reduce cerebral infarct size.Patients aged 18 to 85 years, presenting with an anterior-circulation stroke and eligible for thrombolytic therapy, were enrolled in this multicenter, single-blinded, controlled trial.

Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2009
In the last decennium, thrombolytic therapy has changed the management of acute ischemic stroke. Randomized clinical studies have demonstrated that intravenous thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator improves functional outcomes. Recently the time window for intravenous thrombolysis has been extended from 3 to 4.5 hours after stroke onset, which

Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke

1996
Thrombolysis is an attractive but potentially dangerous they for cerebral ischemia: it is capable of dissolving an arterial thrombus, but can also transform a pale infarct into a hematoma and/or may cause severe oedema and herniation. The safety and efficacy of the treatment critically depend on the timing of intervention ad on patient selection.

Acute Treatment of Ischemic Stroke

Neurologic Clinics, 2022
Ischemic stroke affects 2.5% of the population of the United States and is the leading cause of disability. This article outlines the evidence to support intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase and tenecteplase, thrombolysis in the setting of DWI/flair mismatch, endovascular treatment in the 6-hour and 6- to 24-hour window, and the use of telemedicine ...

Acute Ischemic Stroke Review

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 2007
More than 700,000 people have a stroke each year in the United States. A diagnosis of stroke formerly elicited a nihilistic approach, but this has substantially changed in the last decade. Currently, time is brain, and it is important for all disciplines to work together to initiate acute stroke protocols in the emergency department and identify ...

Acute Ischemic Stroke and Hyperglycemia

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2014
To increase the comprehension about the profound effects of hyperglycemia within the first 48 hours poststroke on the outcomes of acute ischemic stroke, the authors reviewed multiple studies and literature reviews. Research supports the detrimental effects of hyperglycemia on the morbidity and mortality of patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke.
