According to a new study in the United Kingdom, if an elderly person is treated within 90 minutes after a stroke, the chances of complete recovery and no sequelae can be greatly improved. This period is the “golden first aid period†for stroke patients.
Researchers at the University of Glasgow, UK, reported in a new issue of the Lancet medical journal that they investigated the treatment records of more than 3,000 stroke patients who were treated with the commonly used thrombolytic drug alteplase. Analysis showed that this drug treatment was the best within 90 minutes after the onset of stroke, and the patient's chances of complete recovery without leaving sequelae such as disability were 2.5 times higher than those without treatment, but the efficacy was related to treatment time. Delayed and reduced.
According to reports, the medical community generally believes that the effective time for the treatment of stroke with alteplase is within 3 hours, and the study also showed that the drug treatment within 4 and a half hours after the onset of stroke still has a certain effect. However, after more than 4 and a half hours, its side effects may be greater than the therapeutic effect.
The researchers said that although alteplase is a commonly used drug for stroke, it is not suitable for all stroke patients. The doctor needs to scan the patient before deciding whether to use the drug. Therefore, it is the case that the stroke patient is sent to the hospital in time. It is important.
Stroke is often caused by embolism of blood vessels in the brain. The elderly are high-risk groups, such as sequelae such as hemiplegia often left in the treatment. Meditech Medical Network
