Reseña del libro "Acute Stroke and Thrombectomy Nursing Care Manual (en Inglés)"
Acute stroke care demands speed, precision, coordinated teamwork, and confident nursing judgment. Acute Stroke and Thrombectomy Nursing Care Manual is a practical clinical reference designed to help nurses understand the full stroke pathway from first recognition through imaging, reperfusion support, mechanical thrombectomy, neurologic surveillance, complication recognition, recovery, rehabilitation, and discharge.Built for bedside use, orientation, professional development, and nursing education, this manual organizes complex stroke workflows into clear clinical priorities. It explains how nurses contribute to rapid stroke-alert activation, time-anchor verification, airway and hemodynamic stabilization, noncontrast CT and vascular-imaging preparation, intravenous reperfusion support, neurointerventional readiness, post-thrombectomy monitoring, access-site care, dysphagia prevention, and safe transitions of care.Inside, readers will find practical guidance on:• Hyperacute stroke recognition and stroke-alert activation• Immediate assessment, stabilization, and time-critical nursing priorities Noncontrast CT, CT angiography, advanced imaging, and transfer workflow• Intravenous reperfusion support and thrombolytic nursing safety• Mechanical thrombectomy preparation and neurointerventional coordination• Sedation, anesthesia, airway, and intraprocedural nursing support• Post-thrombectomy recovery and reperfusion surveillance• Serial neurologic assessment and early deterioration recognition• Hemorrhagic transformation, cerebral edema, seizure, aspiration, and other acute complications• Blood pressure, oxygenation, glucose, temperature, and fluid management• Femoral and radial access-site care, contrast surveillance, and post-sedation safety• Dysphagia, aspiration prevention, communication support, mobility, and skin protection• Stroke-unit and neurocritical-care handoff, devices, monitoring, and escalation• Patient and family education, secondary prevention, rehabilitation, and discharge• Interfacility transfer, special situations, documentation, and stroke-system quality improvementThe manual also includes bedside-ready appendices, rapid-response checklists, neuro-monitoring and escalation tools, thrombectomy transfer and recovery checklists, a consolidated glossary, and a subject index for fast reference.Written in a clear clinical style, the book emphasizes what nurses need to recognize, communicate, prepare, monitor, document, and escalate while respecting the roles of the stroke, radiology, neurointerventional, anesthesia, critical-care, rehabilitation, and medical teams.Whether you are an emergency nurse, stroke-unit nurse, neurocritical-care nurse, interventional radiology nurse, recovery nurse, nurse educator, or clinician building stroke-care competency, this manual offers a structured reference for navigating the fast-moving decisions and safety priorities that define modern acute stroke and thrombectomy care.
