Acute Inpatient Stroke Care

Acute stroke care focuses the acute inpatient care period after the hyperacute stage is completed.

Acute stroke care focuses the acute inpatient care period after the hyperacute stage is completed. This phase of care usually starts from about 24 hours after stroke onset through the first 5 to 7 days. In this phase the patient becomes medically stable and care goals shift to ongoing stroke assessment, determining etiology, management of persistent symptoms, initiating recovery, early rehabilitation, and prevention of acute complications. Acute stroke care ideally involves healthcare providers with expertise in stroke care and takes place in a clinic or hospital stroke unit or ward, but may occur in other community settings, including the home, based on resource and facility availability. Please see the FSLP funded projects overview below.
