A stroke center is a comprehensive treatment system centered on the disease of stroke. Its goal is to provide optimal medical care to stroke patients, so it should be said that it is a comprehensive treatment system centered on the disease of stroke, through a combination of various
The most important advantage of a stroke center is that it can shorten the time of diagnosis and treatment. The most important advantage of a stroke center is that it can shorten the time to diagnosis and treatment. It can increase the rate of emergency treatment, shorten the time to emergency treatment, and reduce the future disability and mortality rate of patients, as well as reduce the cost of treatment.
There are two levels of stroke centers, the first one is the stroke center, which is the primary stroke center mentioned abroad. The main goal is to standardize the diagnosis and treatment, so the treatment process may emphasize more on intravenous thrombolysis in the acute stage, and then there are some secondary prevention, which also needs to emphasize the standardization process.
The second level is the comprehensive stroke center, the main target population is some difficult, severe stroke patients, or patients who are not eligible for treatment in stroke centers are transferred to comprehensive stroke centers for further treatment, so the requirements for comprehensive stroke centers are higher, and they need more personnel, technology, equipment, and a higher degree of specialization.

Stroke is characterized by high morbidity, mortality and disability.
Different types of stroke are treated differently. Since there has been a lack of effective treatment, prevention is now considered the best measure.
There are three levels of stroke prevention.
The first level of prevention is for people who have risk factors for stroke but do not yet have symptoms of stroke. Strokes can be prevented by treating and controlling diseases that can lead to strokes, such as hypertension and heart disease, protecting blood vessels and effectively preventing high blood pressure and dyslipidemia.
These measures specifically include lowering blood pressure, atrial fibrillation anti-embolism, lowering lipids, etc., while changing poor lifestyle. Reasonable diet, appropriate exercise, smoking cessation and alcohol restriction and maintaining a good state of mind can reduce the incidence of stroke by 75%!
Secondary prevention is mainly for patients who have already had a stroke to take preventive and curative measures to improve symptoms, reduce the rate of death and disability, and prevent recurrence of stroke. Stroke patients are advised to change their bad lifestyle, adhere to medication to control risk factors, and ischemic stroke patients should lower their blood pressure and lipids to meet the standard in order to effectively prevent stroke.
Tertiary prevention is to rehabilitate and care for patients who have had a stroke in order to reduce disability and exacerbation. These include rehabilitation care such as exercise therapy, occupational therapy, physical factor therapy, speech and swallowing therapy, cognitive function therapy, and rehabilitation engineering. In rehabilitation, 3 months is the golden recovery period and 6 months is the effective recovery period!
