Critical Care Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Ischemic stroke accounts for approximately 85% of all strokes. Although severe strokes constitute a minority of cases, they are associated with a majority of the subsequent disability and death. Reperfusion therapy with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and/or endovascular thrombectomy is a mainstay of acute stroke management. Intensive care management of stroke is focused on reducing complications of reperfusion, such as hemorrhagic transformation, and minimizing secondary brain injury, including brain edema and progressive stroke. Additionally, severe stroke patients frequently need ventilatory or hemodynamic support provided in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Here, we discuss the current medical and surgical ICU management aspects of acute ischemic stroke and identify areas where ongoing studies may reveal new treatments to improve neurological recovery.
