Abstract

Reperfusion of the occluded artery by administration of thrombolytics and/or endovascular therapy and stroke unit care is widely considered the only effective approach for improving the outcome of stroke. However, successful reperfusion can only be established in a few cases of acute ischemic stroke; therefore, developing efficient strategies for the management of patients not eligible for reperfusion is important to decrease complications and improve the clinical outcome. In this chapter, we focus on the practical measures for preventing medical and neurological complications in cases of acute management of ischemic stroke and improving the neurological outcome.
