Abstract

Disruption of cerebral blood flow may influence brain energy metabolism to produce reversible or irreversible neurologic deficits. The emergency physician is in a unique position to provide timely treatment during the first few hours of an acute stroke. He or she must be facile with unique pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment designed for the stroke patient concerning ventilation, blood pressure, and circulation.
