                      Stroke Care

                      Stroke Care


                      Joint CommissionAs a Primary Stroke Center, Venice Regional Bayfront Health offers comprehensive treatment, from emergency care to rehabilitation, and features advanced evaluation, neuro-imaging, interventional neuroradiology and clot-dissolving treatments.

                      Prompt care is crucial in treating stroke patients. In the emergency department, our stroke care team is comprised of healthcare professionals from various specialties that utilize advanced technology to aid in improved outcomes, including minimally invasive clot-busting technology.

                      At Venice Regional Bayfront Health, you can count on:

                      • Speed – Treatments given during the first three hours after a stroke can greatly reduce or even reverse the effects of stroke, so our stroke care professionals are ready to jump into action immediately.
                      • Knowledge – Our doctors, nurses, emergency professionals and other specialists meet high educational standards, and are specially trained to identify stroke symptoms and administer advanced treatments.
                      • Technology – Our stroke care team utilizes advanced testing and imaging technology, allowing them to identify the type of stroke within minutes so they are able to begin treatment. Our 64-slice CT scanner provides rapid imaging of blood vessels in the brain, so doctors can begin treatment as quickly as possible.

                      Venice Regional Bayfront Health is a Primary Stroke Center with the Gold Seal of Approval from the Joint Commission. Our trained stroke care team delivers potentially life-saving care for ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, and can perform minimally invasive treatment options, including:

                    • Angioplasty and stent placement to re-establish blood flow through blocked carotid arteries and veins
                    • Embolizing agents (clotting medications) delivered by catheter to stop blood flow resulting from hemorrhagic strokes (embolectomy/thrombolysis)
                    • Thrombolitic therapy to deliver clot-dissolving medicine to treat ischemic strokes
                    • Minimally invasive neurosurgery to remove a clot or repair arteries and veins
                    • The Primary Stroke Center Certification designates hospitals with advanced technology, infrastructure, staff and training to receive and treat patients with all types of strokes. As a Primary Stroke Center, we:

                      • provide 24/7 stroke team access
                      • utilize advanced imaging technology and protocols
                      • offer seamless integration with the ER
