This module aims to provide an overview of hyperacute treatments including thrombolysis and thrombectomy following ischaemic stroke; and to ‘demystify’ these treatments to improve understanding.
The content comprises five patient scenarios; within the scenarios the patient may or may not turn out to be suitable for thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy treatment. Only 15-20% of patients following stroke are suitable for thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy.
