Stroke intensive care: voice a view

Abstract

Modern methods of acute stroke treatment are analyzed: traditional and mechanical thrombolysis, intraventricular thrombolysis, recombinant activated factor VIIa for acute intracerebral hemorrhage, hemicraniectomy. Special attention on the problems of cerebral perfusion pressure and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is concentrated. Future perspectives in acute stroke are discussed.
