• Key assessments for secondary prevention– Blood pressure– Atrial fibrillation– Cholesterol– Lifestyle - smoking, diet, exercise, weight,
alcohol

Stroke - questionsStroke - questions
• Is it a stroke ?
• What type of stroke ?
• Why did it happen ?
• How does it affect the patient ?
• What is the prognosis ?
Pre Hospital Care
1. Early recognition of Stroke warning signal by patient
2. Call ED if a person has symptoms of acute stroke.
3. Emergency transport and care
ED immediate care of Stroke
1. Check Vitals, general assessment
2. Stabilize: Respiration, circulation
3. Control Seizure
4. Reduce intracranial tension
5. Maintain blood sugar
6. Maintain temperature
Emergency tests
• Complete blood
count, PCV, TRBC,
platelet, smear for
MP,
• Blood sugar, blood
urea, serum
creatinine, serum
electrolyte,
• Blood gas,
• SGOT, SGPT,
• PT, PTT
• HIV, Hepatitis profile
• ECG / X-ray / CBC /
Stroke Emergency Imaging
• CT / CTA
• MRI / MRA/ / PI/ DI
• Echocardiography
• Carotid doppler,
• Transcranial doppler
• Cerebral Angiography
• SPECT
Early sign CT - Infarction
MRA & MRI in Stroke
When TIA is an emergency?
High risk TIA,S
1. A high grade vascular stenosis
2. An antiplatelet failure
3. A cardioembolic
4. Crescendo TIA.
Heparin-> warfarin if a long term anticoagulation is required
Aspirin if anticoagulant contraindicated
Carotid endarterectomy in TIA’s
• High grade (>60%) ipsilateral carotid
stenosis with TIA has high risk
(30%) of stroke within first week
• CE reduces mortality in such cases
“Patients who have improved neurologically
but have a persistent neurologic deficit when
seen, should be managed as a recent stroke”
“Role of Neuro-protection in Stroke is not clear and not
recommended routinely”
Aspirin in Acute Stroke
“In acute stroke aspirin is the only proven antiplatelet agent. It should be commenced as soon as the diagnosis of cerebral infarction has been made, using a starting dose of 150-300mg a day and continuing until decisions have been made about secondary prevention”
Anticoagulant in Acute Stroke
• Not shown to prevent progression
• LMH long term improved
• Hemorrhagic transformation is high
• Cardioembolic infarct
– Immediate for small infarct
– Delayed for large infarct
• Heparin - 1000 units/hr. PTT 1.5
• Heparinoid - 2500 to 3200 units SC BD

Conclusion
• Outcome was not related to the Drug used• Ant circulation minor stroke and posterior
circulation stroke has better prognosis• Ant. circulation major stroke did well on IA
thrombolysis.• Normal CT before treatment was not
related to good outcome. But abnormal CT has poor outcome.
• Hemorrhagic complication are dose related.
Emergency CE in acute Stroke
1. Stroke in evolution with a minimal fixed neurologic deficit,
2. A moderately severe neurologic deficit of abrupt onset when the surgery can be completed within the first 3 hours after the onset of deficit, and
3. CT scan without evidence of hemorrhagic transformation of an infarct or edema.
