Stroke Management; Roadside to Resus - a podcast by Simon Laing, Rob Fenwick & James Yates
from 2019-08-15T00:01
Following on from our previous Roadside to Resus episode on Stroke, in this episode we look at the rapidly evolving area of stroke management.
In the last 2 decades stroke management has progressed beyond recognition and keeping up with the evidence and available therapies is a significant challenge. We cover the following treatments, looking at the risks and benefits of each, with the goal of being able to offer our patients the best possible outcomes;
- Aspirin
- Thrombolysis; both prehospitally and in hospital
- Thrombectomy
- Decompressive Hemicraniectomy
- Normoxia
- Euglycaemia
- Acute blood pressure management
As always we’d love to hear any thoughts or comments you have on the website and via twitter.
Enjoy!
