Survey on Neurological Monitoring Practices and Clinician Perspectives in Acute Stroke Care
Acute stroke services provide specialist multidisciplinary care for diagnosis, treatments, and prevention of complications1. Prevention and management of complications, through organised and standardised processes of care, is known to improve patient outcomes2. One key complication after stroke is early neurological deterioration (END), which is the worsening of symptoms in the initial hours or days irrespective of cause. Occurrence of END after stroke has been reported to be between 5-40% in the first 24 hours3.
