When thinking of Phyathai 1 Hospital, many associate it with the expertise of the medical team in treating cerebrovascular diseases, or stroke. The hospital boasts not only a skilled team of doctors and nurses but also a dedicated "Brain Vascular Center" for stroke patients. So, what makes this rehabilitation center stand out? Why should stroke patients choose us? We have the answers!!!
The efficiency of the Brain Vascular Center is gauged by the occurrence of "complications" following treatment. After the acute phase, patients may still experience residual disabilities. For instance, individuals who undergo surgery for cerebral hemorrhage may still face disability or might be ineligible for surgery.
In cases where patients remain disabled, we offer rehabilitation through physical therapy. Phyathai 1 Hospital has a physical therapy center that prioritizes the physical rehabilitation and recovery of stroke patients. Currently, about 60% of patients either recover or regain the ability to care for themselves.
What makes the Brain Vascular Center at Phyathai 1 Hospital stand out from other hospitals is the presence of a team of doctors and nurses providing close care 24 hours a day!! We also have advanced treatment for stroke patients with blood clots using the "clot retrieval" method, as well as a standard physical therapy center for stroke patient rehabilitation. We also have "robots" to assist with mobility training, which helps to improve the effectiveness of muscle strengthening in the arms and legs of patients.
For patients with large vessel occlusion who arrive at the hospital without receiving clot-dissolving medication, the likelihood of death soars to 70%, with a 20% chance of disability and only a 10% chance of regaining self-care abilities. However, when clot-dissolving medication is administered, the risk of death decreases to just 20%!! Nevertheless, the chance of disability increases to 50%, while the ability to take care of oneself improves to 30%. But if the patient is treated by "clot retrieval", the probability of death further decreases to just 10% and the chance of regaining self-care abilities rises significantly to 60%.
What is Clot Retrieval?
Clot retrieval involves using a wire to remove the clot that is blocking the blood vessel... This must be done within 8 hours from the onset of symptoms in the patient, and the blood vessel must be opened within 8 hours after arriving at the hospital.
Phyathai 1 Hospital is recognized as a facility well-prepared for clot retrieval, offering services 24 hours a day. With a skilled and efficient team of doctors, coupled with modern equipment... we can swiftly treat patients.
When it comes to the most common cancer found in women, "breast cancer" is undoubtedly at the top of the list. Currently
Normally, the body releases heat in the form of "sweat" to cool down. However, "Heat Stroke" is a condition in which the body not only releases water but also "minerals"
The human body is composed of blood, which is pumped by the heart to nourish various parts. If we lose a significant amount of blood, we may become weak, exhausted, or even go into shock
Did you know that cerebrovascular disease, also known as stroke, is a major cause of death and disability among Thais? According to Thailand's statistics in 2014, there were 3 to 4 stroke patients per 1,000 Thais. Furthermore, 2 to 3 people die from this
