Stroke is a major cause of death and disability, but new evidence guides acute management and prevention. Understanding early symptoms and prompt assessment are crucial for effective stroke care.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Stroke is a leading global cause of death and disability.
  • Public and professional understanding of stroke, including early symptoms, is often limited.
  • Historically, stroke management has faced therapeutic nihilism, but recent advancements are changing this perception.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an evidence-based approach to the acute management of stroke within the first few days.
  • To cover both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke types, excluding subarachnoid hemorrhage.
  • To emphasize the importance of early assessment for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent clinical trials and robust evidence.
  • Evidence-based approach to acute stroke management.

  • Identification of potential early complications and specific interventions.

    • Main Results:

    • Robust evidence now supports or refutes various interventions for acute stroke and secondary prevention.
    • Clinical interest and research in stroke are expanding rapidly.
    • Specific interventions for different stroke types are discussed based on current evidence.

    Conclusions:

    • Stroke is a medical emergency requiring a rational and methodical approach to initial assessment.
    • Evolving treatments necessitate changes in the organization of modern stroke services.
    • Increased clinical interest and expanding research promise further improvements in stroke care.
