Why the study?
With advances in stroke care including mechanical thrombectomy, an update to the 2009 clinical practice guideline was needed to provide current evidence-based nursing care in the neuroendovascular and intensive care settings.
This American Heart Association scientific statement provides updated evidence-based nursing care strategies for acute ischemic stroke patients in the neuroendovascular and intensive care settings.

Updates nursing care standards for acute ischemic stroke; extends 2009 guideline with evidence on thrombectomy and current practices.
Ischemic stroke remains the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Nurses play a pivotal role in the care of patients throughout the continuum. With the advances in stroke care, including mechanical thrombectomy, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association charged the writing panel to complement the 2009 clinical practice guideline, "Comprehensive Overview of Nursing and Interdisciplinary Care of the Acute Ischemic Stroke Patient," with current evidence-based nursing care. This update is 1 of a 3-part series focusing on emergency medical services/emergency care, endovascular/intensive care unit care, and postacute care. The aim of this scientific statement is to review and present current evidence, complications, best practices, and clinical practice strategies to provide current comprehensive scientific information for nursing care in the neuroendovascular area and intensive care unit in conjunction with medical treatments, including intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy.
