Healthline: Coronavirus and stroke
Reports detail guidelines, published by UC researchers, about stoke treatments during COVID-19
New research by UC and UC Health experts shows that doctors can perform immediate surgery to treat stroke in COVID-19 patients by using enhanced disinfection methods, according to their paper published in the journal Stroke. But the surgery also can present an ethical issue because not every COVID-19 patient is a good candidate for the invasive, anti-stroke treatment.
Aaron Grossman, MD, PhD, assistant professor in the department of neurology and rehabilitative medicine at the UC College of Medicine and a UC Health physician who is also the corresponding author on the report, is quoted.
The report was covered in Healthline. Grossman and Matthew Smith, MD, lead author of the report, neurocritical care fellow and UC Health physician, provided details.
Cincinnati's NPR affiliate WVXU-FM, 91.7, also hosted Grossman and Smith for a half-hour segment to discuss stroke in the COVID-19 era.
