[Comparative analysis of effectiveness of medical care service for patients with stroke in neurological and specialized departments for the treatment of patients with stroke].

A comparative analysis of effectiveness of medical care service for patients with stroke in neurological and a specialized departments for the treatment of patients with stroke has been carried out in the regional hospital. The specialized department had an intensive therapy block that made it possible to conduct twenty-four-hour monitoring of main parameters of vital functions and oxygenotherapy. Patients who were in need of artificial lung ventilation were placed to a department of general reanimation. In the end of the acute period, the level of disability significantly decreased in patients with ischemic stroke. The significant decrease of disability level was found in patients with ischemic as well as with hemorrhagic stroke after 3 months. The results suggest the higher effectiveness of therapy conducted in specialized departments.
