Acute Stroke Intervention Training Courses & Classes- ASC

 During an acute ischemic stroke, there is a core of tissue that has been irreversibly damaged by ischaemia. Surrounding this core is the ischemic penumbra—tissue that is hypoperfused and at risk of permanent damage but may recover normal function if blood flow is restored. The primary goal of acute stroke treatment is to restore flow to the ischemic penumbra.


Intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke if administered within 4.5 hours of the patient’s last known normal time. IV tPA significantly reduces the risk of disability following ischaemic stroke.

Patients experiencing an acute stroke require IV access and cardiac monitoring in the emergency department (ED). These patients are at risk of developing cardiac arrhythmias, and atrial fibrillation can either cause an acute stroke (via embolic disease) or arise as a complication.
