Neuroprotective measure are supportive therapies to reduce risk of complications that include the following adverse manifestations of
a) Hypotension, hypoxemia, hypothermia, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia
b) Cerebral ischemia and ischemic cascade that cause irreversible neuronal injury in the ischemic core within minutes of the onset
Both a and b
None of the above
Answer (1)
Neuroprotective measures aim to minimize brain injury and support recovery after events like stroke or traumatic brain injury. These measures include:Managing hypotension and hypoxemia to maintain adequate oxygen and blood flow to the brain.Avoiding hypothermia or extreme hyperthermia to protect brain cells.Controlling blood glucose and lipid levels to prevent secondary injury.Preventing or limiting the ischemic cascade, which causes cell death in areas of reduced blood flow (cerebral ischemia).
