Acute Ischemic Stroke Intervention at Danbury Hospital
A recent patient arrived to the emergency room with symptoms of a dominant hemisphere stroke. The patient was evaluated, diagnosed and the blood clot was removed within 2 hours of the patient’s stroke symptoms. The patient was then discharged in 48 hours with complete normal function and back to work within a week. Thanks to not only the hospital staff involved, but the community’s awareness in recognizing this patients need for further medical attention.
