Proven Benefit

National audits of stroke care in the UK have repeatedly shown deficiencies in basic care. The key to good care is prompt thorough assessment, investigation and management of physiological parameters i.e blood pressure, glycaemia, temperature and oxygenation. Three interventions are of proven benefit in acute ischaemic stroke: admission to an organised stroke service, early aspirin and intravenous thrombolysis. The use of multidisciplinary guidelines and education and audit around these improves care.
