Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Bypass surgery causes stroke

I wish I could point you to better documentation but alas I can't find it. So grill your doctor before you do this.

01 February 1997

About 6 per cent of patients who have coronary bypass surgery could suffer a stroke directly afterwards. Of these, 5 per cent die, and nearly half suffer deterioration in their intellectual functions.

These strokes are "common and serious", conclude the researchers who made the discovery and it could mean that more than 48,000 people a year around the world suffer a stroke directly after major heart surgery.

The findings were based on the records of 2108 patients who had bypass surgery at one of 24 US hospitals. Of these, 129 patients or 6.1 per cent of the total suffered a stroke, the Multicenter Study of Perioperative Ischemia Research Group discovered.
