patients with ischemic stroke
Our hospital provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for patients with ischemic stroke, spanning from the acute phase to social reintegration. During the critical and emergency stage, nursing staff capitalize on the golden therapeutic window by collaborating with the emergency department and fire services to activate a pre-hospital notification system, thereby establishing a “green channel” to stabilize life. During the intensive care unit phase, care focuses on “life stabilization and skin care,” with proactive prevention of pressure injuries and close monitoring of vital signs. In the subacute respiratory care unit, the goal is to “strengthen muscle power.” Ventilator weaning is guided by established protocols and integrated with rehabilitation programs to mitigate limb dysfunction. During the neurology and rehabilitation ward phase, the emphasis shifts to “safe eating and confident mobility.” Swallowing assessments, speech therapy, and safe diet management are implemented, alongside muscle strength and gait evaluations, while patients and families are encouraged to participate in shared decision-making.
The nursing team delivers diversified health education, utilizing information systems and multilingual resources to enhance care literacy. In addition, post-acute care programs and discharge planning services are actively promoted to ensure seamless transitions to home and community care, ultimately achieving the goal of comprehensive and continuous support.
