Stroke Treatment at Ashraya Hospital

At Ashraya Hospital, we follow a well-defined treatment protocol to ensure that patients receive the most effective stroke care. Our approach includes:

Emergency Care

  • Immediate Assessment: When a patient presents with stroke symptoms, we conduct a thorough evaluation using advanced diagnostic tools such as CT scans and MRIs to confirm the diagnosis.
  • Thrombolysis (for Ischemic Stroke): For ischemic strokes, we may administer clot-busting medications (thrombolytics) within a few hours of symptom onset to dissolve the clot and restore blood flow to the brain.
  • Surgical Intervention (for Hemorrhagic Stroke): In cases of hemorrhagic stroke, we may perform surgery to remove the clot or repair the ruptured blood vessel.

Post-Stroke Care

  • Neurological Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of brain function to track recovery progress and manage complications.
  • Medication Management: Use of anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, and other medications to prevent further strokes and manage symptoms.

 

 

Stroke Rehabilitation

  • Physical Therapy: To help patients recover motor functions and regain independence.
  • Speech Therapy: To assist with communication and swallowing difficulties.
  • Cognitive Rehabilitation: To help improve memory, thinking, and problem-solving abilities affected by stroke.
  • Psychological Support: We provide emotional support and counselling to help patients cope with the mental and emotional effects of stroke.

When to Seek Immediate Medical Help for Stroke?

Stroke is a medical emergency, and every minute counts. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the following signs, seek emergency medical attention immediately:

  • Sudden weakness or numbness, especially on one side of the body
  • Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
  • Sudden vision problems in one or both eyes
  • Sudden severe headache or loss of balance and coordination

The faster you act, the better the chances of reducing brain damage and improving the outcome. Call emergency services or head straight to the nearest emergency room if stroke symptoms occur.
