Abstract

Perioperative stroke is a potentially devastating medical occurrence that complicates patient management during the postoperative critical care period. Irreversible cerebral ischemia or hemorrhage may be incited either during surgery or in the postoperative period. This latter risk period need not be immediate, as some studies link postoperative stroke up to 30 days following the procedure.
