Abstract

According to the World Health Organization experts, about 7 million deaths due to cerebrovascular disease are recorded annually worldwide, and the number of stroke deaths is projected to reach 7.8 million by 2030. The main causes of stroke and its growth are population ageing, urbanisation, unhealthy lifestyles, insufficient control of risk factors (hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes, stressful situations, etc.). It is also associated with untimely provision of emergency medical care at the pre-hospital stage and ineffective treatment of strokes at the hospital stage, as well as a low efficiency of preventive treatment for recurrent stroke and rehabilitation measures. The lecture presents modern methods and techniques for treating patients with acute cerebrovascular accident at different stages: pre-hospital, hospital, and rehabilitation.
