Abstract

The aim of these guidelines is to provide an update and comprehensive review of the recent literature for clinicians treating adult patients with acute stroke. We translated American guidelines for the acute ischemic stroke treatment, published in 2018 by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association, and adapted these guidelines to the Croatian legislation, health insurance policy and standards of health care in Croatia. Members of the Croatian Society for Neurovascular Disorders of the Croatian Medical Association and the Croatian Stroke Society writing group evaluated and adjusted American guidelines to specifi cities of the Croatian health care system in order to improve the quality of stroke management in Croatia. These guidelines include pre-hospital care, urgent evaluation and treatment with intravenous and intra-arterial therapy, as well as the secondary prevention measures during initial hospitalization in adult acute stroke patients.
