[Management of anaesthesia and intensive care for acute ischemic insult]

Abstract

The acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a major cause of death and disability in Germany. The treatment of patients with AIS focuses on rapid recanalization of close brain vessels. Anaesthesiologists are likely to encounter patients with AIS and must be aware of the anaesthetic considerations for these patients. The advantage and risk of general anaesthesia during a neuroradiology procedure is shown. We make recommendations for blood pressure, blood glucose and temperature management.
