Stroke management involves a series of critical steps taken to address and treat a stroke, which occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted, leading to potential brain damage. The immediate goal is to restore blood flow and minimize brain damage, often through medications like thrombolytics or procedures such as thrombectomy. Long-term management focuses on preventing future strokes, managing risk factors like hypertension and diabetes, and addressing any disabilities or complications resulting from the stroke. A multidisciplinary team typically works together to provide comprehensive care, including medication management, rehabilitation therapies, and lifestyle modifications to support recovery and improve overall health outcomes.
