Abstract:
Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment is most important process in managing patients with acute stroke. The acute stroke treatment can be categorized as a specific treatment and general management. Specific treatment, including antithrombotic treatment or thrombolysis therapy, needs to be modified in individual patients. However, general management deals with common problems such as elevated blood pressure, high glucose level, respiratory difficulty, or fever, and those problems are commonly encountered in treating patients with acute stroke. This paper presents up-to-date recommendations for treating acute stroke with review of literatures.
