A stroke is a medical condition in which the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, leading to brain cell death. This can occur due to a blood clot blocking an artery that supplies blood to the brain (ischemic stroke) or a ruptured blood vessel in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke).
Symptoms of a stroke can include sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, sudden vision loss, dizziness or loss of balance, and severe headache. Book an appointment at Manipal Hospitals to know more about the treatment.
Strokes are a severe medical emergency and can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Treatment for a stroke may include medications to dissolve blood clots, surgery to remove or repair ruptured blood vessels, and rehabilitation to help the patient recover from the stroke's effects.
Risk factors for stroke include high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, and a family history of stroke. To reduce the risk of stroke, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption.
Strokes are a severe medical condition that can significantly affect the brain and the body. Prompt medical treatment is essential to prevent lasting damage and to help the patient recover.
Pre-Procedure
The specific pre-procedure steps for a stroke will depend on the type of stroke and the recommended treatment. In general, however, the pre-procedure process for a stroke may include the following steps:
The patient will undergo a thorough medical evaluation, including a physical exam, medical history review, and imaging tests such as an MRI or CT scan. This is to determine the type and severity of the stroke and identify any underlying conditions that may affect the treatment.
The patient will be educated about the recommended treatment and any potential risks or complications. This is an opportunity for the patient to ask questions and express concerns.
The patient will be asked to sign a consent form indicating that they understand the treatment and agree to proceed.
The patient will be prepared for the procedure, which may involve fasting and taking certain medications or adjusting current medications.
The patient will be taken to the operating room, where they will be given anaesthesia to make them comfortable during the procedure.
The stroke treatment will be performed, which may involve medication to dissolve blood clots, surgery to remove blood clots or repair ruptured blood vessels, or other medical interventions.

Once the patient is stable, they will be moved to a hospital room where they will continue to receive care and support. Depending on the stroke's severity and the treatment's success, the patient may need rehabilitation to help them recover from the stroke's effects.
