Initial Treatment After Stroke
Emergency improvement measures:
Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA)
Eighty percent of strokes are ischemic due to a lack of blood supply to the brain; they happen when a blood clot or a thick clump of blood blocks a blood vessel. tPA is a medication that recovers from an ischemic stroke by breaking up the chunk so blood will reach the brain. The earlier the tPA, the more likely the survival and complete recovery. We need to follow a list of checks at every point to give tPA; if contraindications are present, we will stop giving it. Stroke team members will work continuously to complete these checks as quickly as possible to provide patients with tPA ASAP.

Preventing Blood Clots
Preventing blood clots is the essential way to prevent another stroke. Immobility is the most common cause of the blood clotting mechanism, and we stop it by early mobilization and anti-blood clotting agents by day 2. We measure continuously how many people received and how many complications happened.
