The "golden" time to use fibrinolytic drugs for brain stroke emergency

Stroke is a very dangerous disease with an increasing incidence. Currently, the method of using fibrinolytic drugs to treat brain stroke has been very successful for many patients without leaving any sequelae.

Brain stroke is a condition in which a blood vessel supplying the brain is blocked or broken, causing the brain not to receive enough oxygen, leading to cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, cerebral blood vessel rupture.... A part of the brain will be damaged. hurt or begin to die. This is an extremely dangerous disease with a high mortality rate and can leave some permanent sequelae for the patient.
Anyone is at risk of having a stroke. The disease can appear at any age.

Thrombolytic drugs are often used for stroke cases.
Blood clots that block the flow of blood in the brain's blood vessels and cause a stroke are called thrombosis. Fibrin is a factor in the formation of thrombus. During thrombolysis, plasmin is used to destroy fibrin to form water-soluble degradation products. It is a tissue plasminogen activator. The drug has the effect of converting inactive phasminogen to plasmin, dissolving blood clots.

Brain stroke can be fatal and is one of the leading causes of disability.
The early detection and treatment of stroke patients plays a very important role, affecting the patient's treatment outcome.
Previously, when there was no method of using fibrinolytic drugs to treat stroke, patients would have to suffer severe sequels such as hemiplegia, mouth distortion, slurred speech, even the patient's life will be affected. threatened. Thanks to the technique of using fibrinolytic drugs in time to dissolve blood clots, the cause of cerebral vascular occlusion, helping patients get out of critical situations and recover quickly.
The majority of patients with cerebral stroke are transferred to the hospital late, so fibrinolytic therapy cannot be applied, making it impossible for patients to recover completely and leaving many serious sequelae as well as heavy burden. severe for the family despite being given emergency treatment and timely treatment.
Thrombolytic drugs only have optimal effects on stroke patients at a certain time, and the "Golden" time to use fibrinolytics for stroke is 3 hours, even maybe is 4.5 hours for some cases from the time of onset of symptoms with signs such as distorted mouth, numb tongue, hemiplegia, inability to speak, difficulty speaking, blurred vision, headache.. Therefore, in order to achieve the best treatment results, it is necessary to bring the patient to the hospital as soon as possible. If the above time is exceeded, the doctor will not prescribe fibrinolytic drugs.
Thrombolytic drugs are opening up hope and opportunities for stroke patients. The sooner the patient is treated with this method, the faster the recovery will be without leaving any sequelae.
Currently, Vinmec International General Hospital is applying fibrinolytic therapy to emergency patients who have had a stroke, with a treatment success rate of over 90%, this result is real. It means a lot to the patient.
With modern imaging equipment, CT perfusion results are available within 7 minutes and performed routinely. To achieve the above successes, it is impossible not to mention the contribution of experienced doctors at Vinmec along with a system of modern equipment to support and a very strict medical examination and treatment process. Completely feel secure when being treated here.

If you're not sure if you're having a stroke, you should get a stroke screening done. Currently, Magnetic Resonance Imaging - MRI/MRA is considered a "golden" tool to screen for brain stroke. MRI is used to check the condition of most organs in the body, especially valuable in detailed imaging of the brain or spinal nerves. Due to the good contrast and resolution, MRI images allow to detect abnormalities hidden behind bone layers that are difficult to recognize with other imaging methods. MRI can give more accurate results than X-ray techniques (except for DSA angiography) in diagnosing brain diseases, cardiovascular diseases, strokes,... Moreover, the process MRI scans do not cause side effects like X-rays or computed tomography (CT) scans.\
Vinmec International General Hospital currently owns a 3.0 Tesla MRI system equipped with state-of-the-art equipment by GE. Healthcare (USA) with high image quality, allows comprehensive assessment, does not miss the injury but reduces the time taken to take pictures. Silent technology helps to reduce noise, create comfort and reduce stress for the client during the shooting process, resulting in better image quality and shorter imaging time. With the state-of-the-art MRI system With the application of modern methods of cerebral vascular intervention, a team of experienced and well-trained neurologists and radiologists, Vinmec is a prestigious address for stroke risk screening and screening. reliable goods.
In the past time; Vinmec has successfully treated many cases of stroke in a timely manner, leaving no sequelae: saving the life of a patient suffering from 2 consecutive strokes; Responding to foreign female tourists to escape the "death door" of a stroke;...
