Emedinews: Makesure: A patient of stroke with fever worsened


Situation: A patient of stroke with fever worsened.
Reaction: Oh my God!! Why was normothermia not maintained!
Lesson: Make sure  that  normothermia is maintained for at least first several days after acute stroke. Fever may occur in patients with acute stroke and can worsen brain ischemia.
