Management of acute Stroke: Techniques that are used to minimize the injury to the brain in the event of an ischemic insult can be thought of as having three broad purposes: to increase the supply of oxygen to the injured tissue, to reduce the metabolic demands, or to affect specific pathways in the ischemic cascade to reduce the production of unwanted metabolites.
