Treatment of Stroke

Sažetak
The main goal of treatment is to lessen the
brain damage due to ischemia and the neurological deficit due
to stroke. The zone encircling the ischemic part with partial disturbance
of energetic capacity is called penumbra. Most important
is to start the treatment as early as possible in specialized
intensive care units (ICU), within 3 to 6 hours from the onset of
the disease. The basic aim is to confirm the diagnosis and
exclude the states that can show the features of stroke, and
the application of specific treatment can even worsen the outcome.
The current treatment of ischemic stroke is limited to a
small number of specific therapeutic procedures and very narrow
frame of time. Still many medications are applied in a
wrong conviction that they are effective and safe for the patient.
All present knowledge take as an imperative the early start of
treatment, and that comprises the important task of educating
health staff and broader population.
