from Section 3.4 - Neurological Impairment and Injury
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 July 2023
Key Learning Points
1. Best outcomes for stroke patients are achieved in well-organised stroke systems which involve pre-hospital care, emergency departments, a stroke service, diagnostic and interventional radiology, critical care, anaesthesia and neurosurgery.
2. Success of interventions aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality is time-dependent.
3. Patients may need close monitoring and prompt intervention, particularly for blood pressure control and for neurological deterioration.
4. Some patients need neurosurgical intervention and may need critical care post-operatively.
5. Uncertainty remains about patient and treatment selection for intervention, and this is an area of intensive ongoing research.
