Question 2

what is the difference between a primary stroke center and a comprehensive stroke center?

Accepted Answer

Staff available: This is a distinction used for treatment purposes and usually resolves to having a stroke neurologist in the hospital (not just on call), a neuroradiologist, and a number of other specialists who are involved in the management of an acute stroke patient. If you need to give thrombolytic treatments, they need to be given within very narrowly defined time frames.

Question 3

what is the difference between acute ischemic stroke and ischemic stroke?

Accepted Answer

New onset: An acute ischemic stroke is one whose onset was within the past 24 hours or less.  An ischemic stroke refers to brain damage due to an obstructed artery, whereas a hemorrhagic stroke is one in which brain damage occurs as the result of bleeding  (hemorrhage).

Question 4

what is the difference between hemorrhage and embolic stroke?

Accepted Answer

Bleed vs blockage: Hemorrhagic strokes usually refer to bleeds within the parenchyma or substance of the brain (though subarachnoid bleeding - from an aneurysm or such- is rarely and loosely referred to as a hemorhagic stroke).  An ischemic stroke is when brain tissue dies (infarcts) due to a lack of blood flo from a clot or small vessel blockage.  It is not uncommon for some bleeding to occur within an infarct.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Can be the same: An embolism is a blood clot that travels and can cause a blockage of the artery. A stroke can be caused by different things, such as an embolism or artery blockage. A stroke can also be caused by hardening of the arteries with blockage, or even an artery aneurysm that bursts with bleeding.

Question 8

what is the difference between a stroke and a seizure?

Accepted Answer

See below: A stroke occurs when there is an interruption of blood flow to a part of the brain, either because of a blood clot or because of a ruptured blood vessel. This can lead to permanent damage, as the brain is no longer getting oxygen to that part. A seizure, however, is a greatly increased amount of electrical activity in the brain, and can manifest in a number of ways.
