Stroke Unit
A Stroke Unit is a specialized hospital area dedicated to the care of stroke patients. It is staffed by a team of healthcare professionals, including neurologists, nurses, therapists, and others, trained to provide immediate and coordinated treatment. The goal is to quickly diagnose, monitor, and manage stroke symptoms, reducing brain damage and improving recovery chances. Care in a Stroke Unit involves close observation, testing, medication management, and early rehabilitation efforts. This specialized approach has been shown to significantly increase the likelihood of better outcomes and recovery after a stroke.
