我们提供的服务

As Primary 中风 Center, we offer emergency care, 24/7成像, and round-the-clock neurology coverage with our neuro住院医师 and teleneurology. We also administer 溶栓, a.k.a. “抗凝血药”." 

急诊室的经历 

Things move fast in the ED because “time equals brain” in acute (sudden onset) stroke. Time is of great importance in the ED during a stroke. The activity may seem chaotic, but there is a purpose for every action. Blood tests, heart monitoring, X-rays and a CT exam will happen very quickly. The key question for your family will be the “time of last known normal.” This is very important, as it helps determine the type of treatment for the stroke patient.

Other conditions with similar symptoms to stroke and TIA will need to be ruled out to diagnose stroke. Some of these include seizures, 晕倒, 低血糖, 偏头痛, 心脏问题, or other general medical conditions. The type of stroke must also be determined. Treatment for each type of stroke is unique.

你会被问到:

      • About your medical history
      • The last time you were seen well, without symptoms
      • When the onset of symptoms occurred
      • The last time you took anticoagulant medications (blood thinners), 如果有任何, and the name of the medication
      • To undergo a neurological exam which may include a physical exam by an ED physician and/or a neurologist (either in person or by teleconsult)

成像 

There are many types of imaging you may receive. Here are some of the more common scenarios: 

      • CT scan to rule out bleeding in the brain
      • CT Angiogram to rule out occlusions in the vessels in your brain
      • EKG to look for irregular heart rhythms
      • Other tests you may have during your hospital stay for an acute stroke work-up may include: EEG, 回声, 核磁共振成像, TTE, 颈动脉超声, bilateral lower extremity ultrasound, 还有化验/验血

溶栓 

Thrombolytic medications (also called clot busters) work by dissolving blood clots that are blocking the blood flow to the brain. This treatment may be used for a person who is having a stroke caused by clots that block blood flow to the brain (ischemic stroke). These medications can only be given within 4.5 hours of the onset of stroke symptoms.

神经学护理 

We offer inpatient neurology care through our neuro住院医师, 住院医师, and an agreement with Vanderbilt University Medical Center for teleneurology services.
