Ischemic Stroke

Stroke can cause car accidents. In our hospital, intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) therapy was given to three ischemic stroke patients who had caused car accidents. Since stroke was suspected based on clinical manifestations on arrival, head examinations, as well as detailed examinations of the whole body, were performed immediately. After confirming the absence of hemorrhage from traumatic injuries, the patients were treated with intravenous t-PA. No patients had adverse events including hemorrhage. Stroke can cause car accidents. About 0.1% of traffic accidents are caused by stroke . In most motor vehicle accidents, the precise time of occurrence is known, and therefore, the time of stroke onset can be easily identified. Since most such patients are brought to hospital by ambulance, they are often good candidates for intravenous t-PA (tissue plasminogen activator) therapy. Stroke can cause car accidents.

Since most such patients are brought to hospital by ambulance, they are often good candidates for intravenous t-PA (tissue plasminogen activator) therapy. The most important aspect of treating acute ischemic stroke patients involved in car accidents with intravenous t-PA therapy is the assessment of traumatic injuries. Overlooked intracranial or extracranial hemorrhages may result in serious consequences. Accurate assessment of patients with traumatic injuries may be difficult in facilities where no emergency physicians specialized in trauma are available.
