Stroke: WHO Definition
Stroke is clinically defined as a neurologic syndrome characterized by “Rapidly developing clinical signs
of focal (at times global) disturbance of cerebral function, lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death with no apparent cause other than that of
vascular origin”.
CONCEPT OF “BRAIN ATTACK”
In all of us, even in good men, there is a wild - beast nature which peers out in sleep
![Page 5: Management of stroke three to twenty four hours](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103016/554b58b2b4c905793d8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Burden of Stroke Most common life-threatening neurologic disease Third most common cause of death globally Incidence in India: 73/1,00,000 per year No formal registry available. Burden is likely to increase with risk factors like
aging, smoking, adverse dietary patterns Most common cause of disability and dependence. 70% of stroke survivors remaining vocationally
impaired 30% requiring assistance with daily activities

Ischaemic – Atherothrombotic

Stroke: Classification
Ischemic stroke: Account for 80%.
Results from occlusion in the blood vessel supplying the brain
Thrombotic: Occlusion due to atherothrombosis of small/large vessels supplying the brain
Embolic: Occlusion due to embolus arising either from heart (e.g. atrial fibrillation, valvular disease) or blood vessel
Serious, sincere, systematic study surely secures supreme success
![Page 9: Management of stroke three to twenty four hours](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103016/554b58b2b4c905793d8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Classification (contd.)
Hemorrhagic stroke: Account for 20%. Results from rupture of blood vessels leading to bleeding in brain
Intracerebral: Bleeding within the brain due to rupture of small blood vessels. Occurs mainly due to high blood pressure
Subarachnoid: Bleeding around the brain; commonest cause is rupture of aneurysm.Other causes: Head injury

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
“Mini stroke”
Stroke symptoms last for less than 24 hours (usually 10 to 15 mins)
Result as a brief interruption in blood flow to brain
Every TIA is an emergency
TIA may be a warning sign of a larger stroke
Patients with possible TIA should be evaluated

Management of acute ischemic stroke
Systemic thrombolysis: Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen
activator (rt-PA) Within 3 hrs of onset of stroke. Dose 0.9 mg/kg, max 90 mg. Intra arterial thrombolysis is being tried.- time
window is upto 6 hrs. – technically demanding. No Aspirin or heparin for 24 hrs. following
thrombolysis

Management of acute ischemic stroke (contd..)
Anticoagulants: Heparin/LMWH NOT recommended in acute ischemic stroke routinely.
Recommended in setting of atrial fibrillation, acute MI risk, prosthetic valves, coagulopathies and for prevention of DVT.
Intra-arterial thrombolytics: An option for treatment of selected patients with major stroke of < 6 hrs duration due to large vessel occlusion.

Management of acute ischemic stroke (contd)- hypertension
BP Should be kept within higher normal limits since low BP could precipitate perfusion failure.
Reduction of BP in acute stroke phase is controversial. Reduce BP if there is severe end organ damage like
pulmonary edema, encephalopathy, uremia. Markedly elevated BP (>220/110mmHg) managed with
nitroglycerin, clonidine, labetalol, sodium nitroprusside.
More aggressive approach is taken if thrombolytic therapy is instituted

Management of acute ischemic stroke Glucose & pyrexia
Blood glucose Should be kept within physiological levels using oral or IV glucose (in case of hypoglycemia)
insulin (in case of hyperglycemia) RBS >300 mg
Avoid routine glucose infusions Elevated body temperature management:
Antipyretics and use of cooling device can improve the prognosis

Secondary prevention of stroke Recurrence: Annual risk is 4.5 to 6%. Five year recurrence rates range from 24 to 42% one-third occur within first 30 days, hence high priority
should be given to secondary prevention. Patients with TIA or stroke have an increased risk of MI
or vascular event. Management of hypertension (goal <140/85 mm Hg)

Cerebral edema – 30% of patients worsen after stroke due to cerebral edema.

Hemorrhagic transformation occurs in about 40%.
Occurs in first 2 weeks.
10% of patients worsen.

Carotid endarterectomy & stenting
CEA in symptomatic patients provides protection against stroke. ( >70% stenosis)
In 50 –69% stenosis the benefit is marginal compared to medical therapy.
The stroke reduction is realized early after surgery and persisted for extended periods.
In TIA CEA has to be performed as early as possible if there is significant stenosis
ECST and NASCET trials have proved the benefit.

Management of acute ischemic stroke (contd..)
Anticoagulants: Heparin/LMWH NOT recommended in acute ischemic stroke routinely.

Management of acute ischemic stroke (contd)- hypertension
BP Should be kept within higher normal limits since low BP could precipitate perfusion failure.
Reduction of BP in acute stroke phase is controversial. Reduce BP if there is severe end organ damage like
pulmonary edema, encephalopathy, uremia. Markedly elevated BP (>220/110mmHg) managed with
nitroglycerin, clonidine, labetalol, sodium nitroprusside.
More aggressive approach is taken if thrombolytic therapy is instituted

Carotid endarterectomy & stenting
CEA in symptomatic patients provides protection against stroke. ( >70% stenosis)
In 50 –69% stenosis the benefit is marginal compared to medical therapy.
The stroke reduction is realized early after surgery and persisted for extended periods.
In TIA CEA has to be performed as early as possible if there is significant stenosis
ECST and NASCET trials have proved the benefit.

Recommendations for pre clinical evaluation of neuroprotectants in experimntal brain ischemia
Drug dose Generate dose-response curves in several species; assess likelihood of drug penetration of tissue at risk
Therapeutic time window
Assess carefully the time interval after the onset of ischemia or reperfusion when the drug can be successfully administered
Animal models Study permanent and transient ischemia models initially in rats/mice, the possibly in cats or primates in a radomized and blinded fashion; results should be replicated by independent laboratories; consider influence of sex
![Page 130: Management of stroke three to twenty four hours](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103016/554b58b2b4c905793d8b4cbd/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
Physiological monitoring
Monitor blood pressure, blood gases, hemoglobin, glucose, brain temperature and cerebral blood flow for as long as possible
Outcome measures
Evaluate acute and long-term outcome (typically reduced infarct volume). Assess functional recovery in multiple animal species
Target populations
It is uncertain if benefit in young, healthy animals can be extrapolated to elderly, sick humans
Combination therapy
Consider using agents that affect multiple mechanisms of neuronal injury after ischemia, simultaneously or in successions (the “cocktail” approach
