Abstract:
The authors review experience gained from developing and running a non-intensive stroke unit during the years 1983-91. The number of patients treated per year has increased from 65 to 149. The average length of stay in hospital has dropped from 21 to 15 days. About 87% of the patients had verified stroke, 7% had transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). Other intracranial diseases were found in 3.3%. The mortality rate was low (5%) 48% of the patients were transferred to a rehabilitation centre, 37% were discharged to their homes, with or without out-patient care, and 10% were discharged to nursing homes. Early and systematic investigations and multi-disciplinary rehabilitation in a specialized stroke unit increases the quality of care for patients suffering from stroke. A shorter stay in hospital gives a bonus in the form of reduced health expenditures.

Regulation of Stroke Volume
Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...
