Stroke Management; Roadside to Resus

Following on from our previous Roadside to Resus episode on Stroke, in this episode we look at the rapidly evolving area of stroke management.

In the last 2 decades stroke management has progressed beyond recognition and keeping up with the evidence and available therapies is a significant challenge. We cover the following treatments, looking at the risks and benefits of each, with the goal of being able to offer our patients the best possible outcomes;

  • Aspirin
  • Thrombolysis; both prehospitally and in hospital
  • Thrombectomy
  • Decompressive Hemicraniectomy
  • Normoxia
  • Euglycaemia
  • Acute blood pressure management

As always we'd love to hear any thoughts or comments you have on the website and via twitter.

Enjoy!

Simon, Rob & James
