Acute Stroke Unit

An Acute Stroke Unit is a specialized area in a hospital dedicated to caring for patients who have recently experienced a stroke, which is when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. The unit provides focused medical management, monitoring, and rehabilitation to help minimize brain damage and improve recovery. It involves a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and therapists, who work together to stabilize the patient, prevent complications, and start early rehabilitation. The goal is to optimize the patient's functional outcomes and support their recovery process during the critical initial period after a stroke.
