What Is Emergency Stroke Care?
Emergency stroke care involves rapid recognition, immediate hospital treatment, and structured post-acute recovery. A stroke occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen due to a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). This is why emergency care for stroke patients must begin immediately—every minute matters.
Once stabilized in the hospital, stroke treatment emergency care continues at home. This phase focuses on preventing complications, restoring movement and speech, managing medications, and helping patients avoid another hospital stay. Emergency care for stroke involves coordinated nursing, therapy, and physician oversight—delivered safely in the patient’s home.
According to the CDC , stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability and requires immediate medical attention.
