Background
Stroke is the most important cause of
morbidity and long term disability1
Demographic changes are likely to result in an
increase in both incidence and prevalence
Stroke is also the 2nd most common cause of
dementia, the most frequent cause of
epilepsy in the elderly, and a frequent cause
of depression2,3

Mortality

Emergency Management
The time window for treatment of patients with
acute stroke is narrow
T ime is the most important factor
11
Emergency Management
The initial examination should include
Observation of breathing and pulmonary function and
concomitant heart disease
Assessment of BP and HR
Determination of SaO2
Blood samples for clinical chemistry, coagulation and
haematology studies
Observation of early signs of dysphagia
Targeted neurological examination
Careful medical history focussing on risk factors for
arteriosclerosis and cardiac disease

Monitoring
Continuous monitoring (24 hours)
HR
RR
SaO2
Discontinuous/intermitten monitoring
BP
Blood glucose
Vigilance (GCS), pupils
Neurological status (e.g. NIHSS or Scandinavian stroke
scale)
17
Pulmonary Function
Adequate O2 is important
Administration O2 for the hypoxic patients, target
SaO2 >94%.
Risk for aspiration in patients with side positioning
Hypoventilation may be caused by pathological
respiration pattern
Risk of airway obstruction (vomiting, oropharyngeal
muscular hypotonia): mechanical airway
protection
18
Blood Pressure
Elevated in most patients with acute stroke
BP drops spontaneously during the first days after
stroke
Blood flow in the critical penumbra passively
dependent on the MAP
There are no adequately sized randomised,
controlled studies guiding BP management
Avoid and treat hypotension, hypovolemia
should be corrected with IV normal saline
19
20
21
Glucose Metabolism
High glucose levels in acute stroke may increase
the size of the infarction and reduce functional
outcome
Hypoglycemia can mimic acute ischaemic
infarction
It is common practise to treat hyperglycemia with
insulin when blood glucose exceeds 140-80mg/dl1
22
Body Temperature
Fever is associated with poorer neurological
outcome after stroke
Fever increases infarct size in experimental
stroke
Many patients with acute stroke develop a
febrile infection
It is common practice treat fever (and its
cause) when the temperature reaches 38C
23
Thrombolytic therapy
Early antithrombotic treatment
Treatment of elevated intracranial pressure
Prevention and management of complications
24
Thrombolytic
Therapy
(NINDS1, ECASS III, ATLANTIS4)
25
Thrombolytic Therapy
Factors associated with increased bleeding risk1
elevated serum glucose
history of diabetes
baseline symptom severity
advanced age
increased time to treatment
previous aspirin use
history of CHF
NINDS protocol violations
1. Lansberg MG et al.: Stroke (2007) 38:2275-8
26
Antiplatelet therapy
Aspirin was tested in large RCTs in acute (<48 h)
stroke1,2
Significant reduction was seen in death and
dependency (NNT 70) and recurrence of stroke
(NNT 140)
A phase 3 trial for the glycoprotein-IIb-IIIa
antagonist abciximab was stopped prematurely
because of an increased rate of bleeding3

3. Adams HP, Jr. et al.: Stroke (2007)
27
Anticoagulation
UFH
No formal trial available testing standard i.v. heparin
IST showed no net benefit for s.c. heparin treated
patients because of increased risk of ICH1
LMWH
No benefit on stroke outcome for low molecular
heparin (nadroparin, certoparin, tinzaparin,
dalteparin)
Heparinoid
TOAST trial neutral2

2. TOAST Investigators: JAMA (1998) 279:1265-72.
28
Neuroprotection
No adequately sized trial has yet shown
significant effect in predefined endpoints for any
neuroprotective substance
A meta-analysis has suggested a mild benefit for
citocoline1
29
Elevated ICP
Basic management
Head elevation up to 30
Pain relief and sedation
Osmotic agents (mannitol, hypertonic saline)
Ventilatory support
Barbiturates, hyperventilation
Achieve normothermia
30
Management of Complications
Aspiration and pneumonia
Bacterial pneumonia is one of the most important
complications in stroke patients1
Preventive strategies
Withhold oral feeding until demonstration of intact
swallowing, preferable using a standardized test
Nasogastric (NG) or percutaneous enteral gastrostomy
(PEG)
Frequent changes of the patients position in bed and
pulmonary physical therapy
1. Weimar C et al.: Eur Neurol (2002) 48:133-40
31
Management of Complications
Urinary tract infections (UTI)
Most hospital-acquired UTI are associated
with the use of indwelling catheters1
Intermittent catheterization does not reduce
the risk of infection
If urinary infection is diagnosed, appropriate
antibiotics should be chosen following basic
medical principles
32
Management of Complications
DVT and PE
Risk might be reduced by good hydration
and early mobilization
Low-dose LMWH reduces the incidence of
both DVT (OR 0.34) and PE (OR 0.36),
without a significantly increased risk of
intracerebral (OR 1.39) or extracerebelar
haemorrhage (OR 1.44)1,2
33
Management of Complications
Pressure ulcer
Use of support surfaces, frequent repositioning,
optimizing nutritional status, and moisturizing
sacral skin are appropriate preventive strategies1
Seizures
Prophylactic anticonvulsive treatment is not
beneficial
Agitation
Causal treatment must precede any type of
sedation or antipsychotic treatment
1. Reddy M et al.: JAMA (2006) 296:974-84

The patients should be hospitalized (esp. ABCD2 score

Explored the risk factor (TCD, CT Angio, MRI/MRA, ECG,
Hematology, etc) (Class I, A)
Noninvasive imaging of the cervical vessels. (Class I, A).
