Critical care of acute stroke
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2017, Vol 115, Issue 12
Abstract
In the last decade, there has been tremendous interest and growth in setting up ICUs and stroke centers across India. Because of changes in modern stroke therapy and advanced imaging techniques with software for remote reading in real-time available 24/7, there has been a monumental change in how stroke patients are cared for. From the availability of ICU trained physicians proficient in ventilator management to the readiness of neurosurgeons willing to perform emergency decompression in patients at risk for malignant cerebral swelling and brain herniation, the fate of critically ill stroke patients has drastically improved.
