Guidelines for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Guideline for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association
These guidelines supersede the prior 2007 guidelines and 2009 updates and support the overarching concept of stroke systems of care and detail aspects of stroke care from patient recognition; emergency medical services activation, transport, and triage; through the initial hours in the emergency department and stroke unit.

Fever is common in critically ill neurosurgical patients, especially those with a prolonged length of stay in the ICU or a cranial disease, and treatment of fever is a clinical issue that requires better management.
Temporary balloon test occlusion of the internal carotid artery: experience in 500 cases.
Temporary balloon occlusion of the internal carotid artery, believed helpful in identifying patients at risk of stroke during abrupt carotids artery sacrifice, can be performed with an acceptably low complication rate.
Acute regional cerebral blood flow changes caused by severe head injuries.
In patients without surgical mass lesions, the findings suggest that CBF in the first few hours after injury is often low, followed by a hyperemic phase that peaks at 24 hours, which underscores the need to define regional CBF abnormalities in victims of severe head injury if treatment is intended to prevent regional ischemia.

Young children (<24 months) may represent a particular high-risk group with early hypoperfusion after severe TBI and this finding may be a key factor in the pathophysiology and outcome in this age group, and may need to be addressed in the future therapeutic protocols.
