Acute Management of Stroke

Emergency Stroke Management in Bangalore

The acute management of stroke is a critical medical intervention to address the sudden onset of a cerebrovascular event, such as ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. The treatment involves time-sensitive decisions regarding critical aspects like intubation, blood pressure control and assessing if the patient needs clot-removal Thrombectomy intervention.

Thrombectomy involves the mechanical removal of the clot, typically utilising a catheter-based approach to navigate to the site of the blockage and retrieve or disrupt the clot. The procedure is efficacious when performed within a specific time window from the onset of symptoms. During a thrombectomy procedure, the surgeon typically accesses the vascular system through a catheter inserted into a blood vessel, often the femoral artery in the groin. Guided by imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy, the catheter is advanced through the arterial system until it reaches the site of the occlusion in the brain. Subsequently, a specialised device such as a stent retriever or aspiration catheter is employed to capture or break down the clot, thus restoring blood flow to the affected area.

This meticulous process is a coordinated effort by the skilled medical team, and the success of thrombectomy is contingent on the timeliness of intervention and the careful execution of each step in the procedure.
