Pune (Maharashtra) [India], May 15: <\/strong>Stroke, a leading cause of premature death and disability, is on the rise due to demographic shifts and lifestyle-related risk factors. Most common in those aged 40\u201360 and above, it can affect anyone. Fortunately, effective treatments exist. Jehangir Hospital offers comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic care for neurological conditions.<\/p>\n

Dr Soumya Chandrashekhar, consultant accident and emergency department at Jehangir hospital said,\u00a0\u201c Jehangir Hospital\u2019s pre-hospital ambulance and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) provide efficient and timely care for stroke patients. I would like to emphasize that trained emergency physicians and stroke nurses are crucial in reducing disability and improving survival. Our acute stroke care pathway ensures fast, evidence based care. The World Stroke Organisation has awarded our stroke team for excellence in stroke care\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

24\/7 Neurological Care at Jehangir Hospital<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jehangir Hospital\u2019s Neurosciences department offers round-the-clock care and is renowned for treating stroke patients during the critical Golden Hour. The first 4.5 hours post-stroke are vital, with 2 million neurons lost each minute. Administering clot-dissolving injections within this window greatly improves survival and reduces long-term damage. In acute ischemic strokes, treatment must begin within 60 minutes of arrival.<\/p>\n

Dr Sandeep Borse, Neurologist at Jehangir Hospital, says,\u00a0“The majority of cases we see are patients aged 60 years and above. However, we also see many cases in the 30\u201345 age group, largely due to modern lifestyles. A brain stroke can also be hereditary in nature.”<\/em><\/p>\n

He further adds,\u00a0“When an acute stroke patient arrives within the Golden Hour at the Emergency Room, a\u00a0<\/em>CODE STROKE<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is activated. A rapid neurological examination, CT scan, and MRI are conducted immediately, following which the decision for\u00a0<\/em>IV Thrombolysis<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is made. If the CT scan reveals a major vessel blockage,\u00a0<\/em>neuro intervention can be performed in time to remove the clot<\/em><\/strong>. We have achieved Thrombolysis in just\u00a0<\/em>13 minutes (DTN) from arrival<\/em><\/strong>, which was the fastest thrombolysis conducted. At Jehangir Hospital, all staff members are trained to ensure rapid and effective treatment for stroke patients.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Jehangir Hospital houses a state-of-the-art Cath Lab, enabling specialists to perform minimally invasive neuro-interventional procedures. This advanced facility ensures precise and effective treatment for stroke and other neurological conditions.<\/p>\n

Dr Anand Alurkar, Consultant Interventional Neurologist at Jehangir Hospital, explains,
\n“The Cath Lab is essential in stroke management, particularly for procedures such as\u00a0<\/em>Mechanical Thrombectomy<\/em><\/strong>, where we remove large clots using specialised devices. This technique is highly effective, with nearly 80% of patients experiencing early and significant recovery. Additionally, procedures such as\u00a0<\/em>Carotid Stenting and Intracranial Stenting<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0help prevent major strokes in patients with minor strokes or Transient Ischaemic Attacks. Our advanced Cath Lab facilities ensure that stroke patients receive life-saving interventions at the right time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Cath Lab at Jehangir Hospital enables doctors to perform advanced neuro-interventional procedures such as\u00a0Mechanical Thrombectomy<\/strong>\u00a0to remove blood clots from blocked brain arteries,\u00a0Carotid Stenting<\/strong>\u00a0to restore blood flow by opening blocked carotid arteries,\u00a0Aneurysm Coiling\u00a0<\/strong>to block blood flow to brain aneurysms and prevent rupture, and\u00a0AVM Embolisation<\/strong>\u00a0to treat arteriovenous malformations and reduce the risk of bleeding in the brain.<\/p>\n

Dr Prashant Khandelwal, Consultant Neurosurgeon at Jehangir Hospital, highlights the importance of immediate intervention in stroke cases,\u00a0“The role of neurosurgery in stroke management is crucial, particularly in cases where patients require decompressive craniectomy or endovascular procedures.\u00a0<\/em>Time is of the essence<\/em><\/strong>\u2014delays in treatment can significantly impact recovery outcomes. At Jehangir Hospital, we ensure that every stroke patient receives rapid, evidence-based care, which significantly improves their chances of leading an independent life post-recovery.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Vinod Sawantwadkar, CEO of Jehangir Hospital, emphasises the hospital\u2019s commitment to neurological care:\u00a0“At Jehangir Hospital, we take immense pride in our ability to deliver\u00a0<\/em>world-class neurological care<\/em><\/strong>, backed by\u00a0<\/em>cutting-edge technology and an expert medical team<\/em><\/strong>. Stroke care, in particular, demands\u00a0<\/em>speed, precision, and coordination<\/em><\/strong>. Our\u00a0<\/em>CODE STROKE<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0programme and our dedicated team have enabled us to provide\u00a0<\/em>swift and effective treatment<\/em><\/strong>, saving lives and ensuring better long-term outcomes for patients. We remain committed to\u00a0<\/em>innovation and excellence in neurological healthcare<\/em><\/strong>, ensuring that every patient receives the best possible care at the right time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Neuro Rehabilitation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jehangir Hospital\u2019s Neurorehabilitation Team offers comprehensive assessment and therapy for cognitive and physical disabilities across a range of neurological conditions, including\u00a0stroke, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, Parkinson\u2019s disease, multiple sclerosis, and other movement disorders<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Prevention is Better Than Cure<\/strong><\/p>\n

In India, stroke and stroke-related dementia are on the rise due to lifestyle-related risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, poor sleep, and smoking. Stroke cases among young people have increased by 12%, often resulting in long-term neurodisabilities.<\/p>\n

Jehangir Hospital\u2019s rehabilitation department adopts a holistic approach to stroke prevention through awareness sessions, physical fitness testing, and stress profiling. The addition of the advanced Cath Lab further strengthens the hospital\u2019s position as a leading center for neurological care, offering cutting-edge interventions for stroke and neurovascular conditions.
