Soon there will be early time -on -time stroke and head injuries closer to their residence for people at government health faculties. In coordination, Nimhans has developed a model of “hub and beams” to care for injury and head injury.
As part of this model, the advanced center of injuries and head injuries (mushrooms) in NiMhans will be coordinating for the establishment of rays at six medical faculties and provides instructions and support throughout the state. 22.
Urine occurs when blood supply to a part of the brain is disrupted, either by blocking or bleeding, causing brain cells to die due to lack of oxygen and nutrients. This can lead to a number of disabilities, from mild weakness to severe paralysis and in some cases permanent disability and even death.
Golden hour
Recognition of symptoms and searching for immediate medical care in the “golden hour” – four to six hours after the start of symptoms – is essential for minimizing damage and maximizing recovery. Immediate treatment can significantly improve the results by renewing blood flow to the brain and preventing further cellular deaths, the doctors said.
The project of care for injuries and injuries to head injuries will be on the lines of the infarction of myocardial infarction in Karnataka (St -elevation myocardum – Mine) currently in 86 talluks. The model of hubs and rays will prevent delay in providing the diagnosis and treatment of stroke in addition to care for head injury for the necessary patients. The availability of timely care closer to their stay will avoid patients who throw themselves at NiMhans, ensuring that there is no overload at the premiere institution of mental health. NiMhans is observed daily with six to 12 stroke patients and 15 to 16 cases of head injury.
NiMhans Apex Center
Girish B. Kulkarni, a professor of neurology and a stroke unit in Nimhans, said on Monday on Monday that the stroke center model includes a network of healthcare facilities where Nimhans-Apex Center (HUB) will provide the surrounding smaller facilities (Spokes). “The aim of this model is to improve the results of the stroke streamline the approach to timely and appropriate care, especially in a major” gold clock “after the stroke,” said Dr. Girish.
While the Apex Center in Nimhans began three months ago, the Medical College and Research Institute (KMCRI) in Hubball began to follow patients with stroke and recently provided routine stroke management.
With financing from the state government, KMCRI is soon ready to get a machine for digital deduction of angiography (DSA). This device is used to control stroke to visualize blood vessels in the brain and identify blockages or abnormalities that can cause a stroke, said the doctor.
In addition to KMCRI, rays will be established at the government medical faculties in Bengalur (Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute), Mysur Medical, Raichur and Ballari. “We have identified universities and the centers will soon be set up at the total price of 56 Crore,” Dr. Girish.
Brain health
The Karnataka’s Brain Health Initiative (Kabhi) initiative in cooperation with NiMhans has helped to improve early detection and treatment of neurological disorders at local level. This initiative has trained primary health care providers – including doctors and nurses – to identify and treat common neurological conditions such as stroke, epilepsy and headache in the district and taluk of hospitals. This has already brought neurological care to people, especially in rural and radius areas, and reduced delays in diagnosis and treatment.
