Code Stroke
Code Stroke is an important process to help decrease nerve damage for patients who have sustained a stroke (cerebral vascular accident or brain attack). Identification and proper treatment of patients in the prehospital setting has shown success in the outcome of patients who have experienced a stroke. For this assignment, discuss the following:
the possible type of stroke the patient sustained,
the patient’s neurological findings,
prehospital emergency treatment for the patient, and
research concerning pharmacological basis of clot-breaking medications and cerebral angioplasty for successful stroke treatment.
