Stroke Care Guidelines

Stroke care guidelines are expert recommendations for quickly diagnosing and treating strokes to minimize brain damage. They emphasize rapid assessment, such as quickly evaluating symptoms and using brain scans like CT or MRI. Treatment options depend on the stroke type: ischemic strokes often require clot-busting medications, while bleeding strokes may need surgery or other interventions. The guidelines also highlight the importance of early rehabilitation, managing risk factors (like high blood pressure or diabetes), and providing education to prevent future strokes. Overall, they aim to ensure timely, effective care to improve outcomes and quality of life for stroke patients.
