[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Samyuk Seoul Hospital announced on the 8th that it has opened a 'Stroke Intensive Care Unit.'

The Stroke Intensive Care Unit is a four-bed room within the neurology ward, where a collaborative system of stroke-related specialists from neurology, neurosurgery, rehabilitation medicine, and radiology work together. Five specialized nurses are stationed 24 hours a day to provide intensive care to patients.

Standardized guidelines have been established for patients whose condition changes frequently and require close monitoring, such as those with cerebral infarction or those needing special treatments like thrombolytic therapy. Additionally, the system has been organized to ensure intensive treatment during the early stages of stroke, which is expected to improve patient treatment satisfaction.

Hospital Director Yang Geo-seung said, "This is an optimal operational system that can respond most appropriately to acute stroke, which requires national attention. We hope to reduce patient mortality and decrease aftereffects." He added, "We will further expand the Stroke Intensive Care Unit and actively support its smooth operation."
