Up to 15% of all strokes occur in hospitalized patients, many of
whom are there for surgical procedures or cardiac disorders.
Outcomes can be poor, with high mortality - possibly related to
co-morbidities and the complexities of hospital care. Risk factors
for in-hospital stroke include specific operations and procedures
(such as cardiac surgery), previous medical disorders (especially a
history of stroke or transient ischemic attack), and certain
physiological characteristics (including fever and dehydration).
More rapid diagnosis and evaluation for interventional therapies is
needed. This major new book examines the causes of
treatment-related stroke in most hospital-based situations.
Therapeutic approaches - including interventional therapies and
intra-arterial thrombolysis - are highlighted, including
experimental agents and interventions where other treatment
possibilities are limited. Increasing the awareness of such
interventions is an important factor in reducing delays in the
assessment of patients who have strokes while in hospital, thus
decreasing morbidity and reducing costs.
