Stroke Unit RostockAlbrecht-Kossel-Institute for Neuroregeneration
Concept
The Department of Neurology of the University of Rostock maintains a
Stroke unit with 12 beds for the treatment of acute strokes since 1998.
All procedures of the modern diagnostics and therapy are available in
day-long attendance. The diagnostic possibilities cover the monitoring
(ECG, blood pressure and oxygen saturation), all Doppler methods (CW
Doppler, Dopplersonography transkraniell pulsed, color coded duplex for
extrakranielle and intrakranielle vessels), the transthoracale and
transoesophageale echocardiography and the availability of a
comprehensive radiological diagnostics with spiral CT, MRT and
interventional angiography are approximately around the clock.
Due to the fact that the Stroke unit is spatially associated with
the intensive care unit with 8 artificially respirating places,
patients with acute stroks and vitally threatening clinical courses
and/or artificially respirating requiringness can be further supplied
at the intensive care unit.
