What you'll learn

A stroke is an event in which the brain is temporarily deprived of oxygen. It is an emergency that requires immediate medical attention. If left untreated, it can result in permanent disability or death. It occurs in around 111,000 people every year in the UK and up to 750,000 people in the US. Its occurrence generally increases with age and genetics does play a role in increasing or decreasing the stroke risk. read more »»

Generally, not many of us are aware of acute stroke management in the hospital. This course will help you learn how a team of interdisciplinary healthcare professionals is required to manage the condition right from the emergency department. The various investigations and the protocol of selecting a line of treatment have been outlined in the course. The role of blood pressure and sugar management in stroke patients is also discussed in detail.
