Stroke this visual guide shows the 4 most common positions: seated in a chair wheelchair, lying in supine, lying on the affected side, and lying on the unaffected side, with simple explanations. this content is only available to members. Background and purpose— the purpose of these guidelines is to provide an up to date comprehensive set of recommendations in a single document for clinicians caring for adult patients with acute arterial ischemic stroke. the intended audiences are prehospital care providers, physicians, allied health professionals, and hospital administrators. these guidelines supersede the 2013 acute.
Nt based on recent clinical trials and clarifies previous recommendations. the guideline is a comprehensive one, addressing ais management from acute s. mptoms onset in the prehospital phase through two weeks post acute stroke. it provides guidance on which patients are eligible to receive iv altep. ase, mechanical thrombectomy and other care. 1. iv alteplase (0.9 mg kg, maximum dose 90 mg over 60 minutes with initial 10% of dose given as bolus over 1 minute) is recommended for selected patients who can be treated within 3 hours of ischemic stroke symptom onset or patient last known well or at baseline state. Patients with acute ischemic stroke (ais) depend on cerebral blood flow (cbf) to maintain perfusion of the at risk penumbral tissue, 1,2 which is critically dependent on arterial blood pressure when cerebral autoregulation is affected. 3 thus, the simple process of positioning an ais patient lying flat or head down is appealing in that it allows gravitational force to enhance blood flow in the. Place the stroke leg with the thigh so that it is in line with the trunk, and bend the knee slightly. the unaffected leg should be brought forward and placed with the knee bent on a pillow in front of the affected leg for comfort. this prevents the patient rolling onto his back. lastly, bend the head forward a little.
