Stroke center at KU Hospital saves stroke victims
A KU Hospital stroke center advances care with five board certified stroke neurologists and modern imaging to offer rapid reversal treatment. Patients must seek help within hours of onset as clot busting drugs must be used within 4.5 hours and clot removal within six to eight hours. The center emphasizes early recognition of stroke signs and prevention by managing risk factors. Patient Paula Theus credits doctors and staff with lifesaving treatment and expresses gratitude for the care received.
