Ischemic Stroke Management

Description

A complete guide to improving stroke treatment and patient outcomes from international experts!
Of the more than 795,000 estimated strokes that occur annually in the U.S., 87% are ischemic due to blockages,
while the remaining 13% are hemorrhagic associated with spontaneous bleeding in the brain. Ischemic Stroke Management:
Medical, Interventional and Surgical Management by esteemed neurosurgeons Alejandro Spiotta, Roberto Crosa, and an
impressive group of international contributors details evidence-based medical, interventional, and neurosurgical
treatment of ischemic stroke.

Twelve chapters cover complete management of ischemic stroke, from symptom manifestation to interventions in the
ER, OR, and NICU. The first chapters cover stroke epidemiology, intravenous thrombolysis in stroke, and the crucial
role stroke centers play in ensuring timely treatment of this devastating disease. Subsequent chapters discuss
diagnostic imaging techniques in acute ischemic stroke, neurosurgical interventions for hemorrhagic and ischemic
stroke, and neuroanesthesia considerations.
