Functioning of the Integrated System of Care for Stroke Patients Treated with Mechanical Thrombectomy Based on the Case Report

Abstract

Introduction. Mechanical thrombectomy is a treatment method used in the event of ischemic stroke, caused by obstruction of a large artery. This method is used to treat stroke in its acute phase. An integrated health care system is about placing the patient in need of help at the centre of the procedure. In such a system, the patient receives support and treatment methods in various fields and from various specialists. Aim. The aim of the work is to present the issue of introduction and implementation of the program of treatment of patients after stroke by means of mechanical thrombectomy. Case Report. The research material in the work was medical documentation of patients of the neurology department, and scientific literature. The research method was the individual case method, analysis of literature and medical documentation. Conclusions. A very well-implemented pilot program of mechanical thrombectomy treatment, with specific guidelines, standards, rules of conduct, contact methods, contributes to reducing mortality due to ischemia strokes.
