Quando chegou ao hospital, a equipa de emerg\u00eancia avaliou rapidamente que ele estava a sentir uma fraqueza grave no lado esquerdo do corpo e realizou imediatamente uma TAC que confirmou a suspeita cl\u00ednica de que ele estava a sofrer um AVC grave. Um dos principais vasos sangu\u00edneos no interior do c\u00e9rebro tinha um grande co\u00e1gulo que estava a bloquear o fluxo sangu\u00edneo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"N\u00e3o tinha a certeza de estar a ter um AVC\", recorda Robert. \"Estava no meu iPad a jogar Sudoku e, quando dei por mim, o iPad come\u00e7ou a afastar-se de mim. Quando estava a tentar agarr\u00e1-lo, acabei por cair no ch\u00e3o e n\u00e3o conseguia levantar-me. A minha mulher ouviu-me cair e ligou rapidamente para um bom amigo e para o 112 a pedir ajuda.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O tempo \u00e9 o fator-chave nos cuidados e na recupera\u00e7\u00e3o do AVC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gra\u00e7as \u00e0 resposta r\u00e1pida do Mattapoisett EMS e ao trabalho de equipa eficiente do Dr. Matthew Bivens, Kendra Bento, RN, t\u00e9cnicos de radiologia, radiologistas e coordenadores da unidade de sa\u00fade, a equipa do St. Luke's conseguiu administrar medica\u00e7\u00e3o para ajudar a tratar o AVC apenas 25 minutos ap\u00f3s a chegada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esta medica\u00e7\u00e3o desfaz os co\u00e1gulos que est\u00e3o a bloquear as art\u00e9rias para restabelecer o fluxo sangu\u00edneo, mas nem sempre funciona nas oclus\u00f5es de grandes vasos sangu\u00edneos. Atrav\u00e9s da coordena\u00e7\u00e3o com o Rhode Island Hospital Neurointerventional Radiology e o Brewster EMS, Robert foi rapidamente transportado para o seu centro de AVC abrangente, onde foi submetido a um procedimento cir\u00fargico para remover o co\u00e1gulo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Neste caso, tudo correu exatamente como previsto no nosso sistema de cuidados de AVC. Todas as rodas estavam a girar o mais depressa poss\u00edvel e isso reflectiu-se nos cuidados que conseguimos prestar e no excelente resultado para o Robert\", afirmou Dr. Daniel Sacchetti<\/a>Diretor de AVC da Southcoast Health. \"Um dos factores-chave para o sucesso do tratamento do AVC \u00e9 o tempo, e quanto mais depressa conseguirmos impedir a progress\u00e3o de um AVC, melhor ser\u00e1 a recupera\u00e7\u00e3o da pessoa.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devido \u00e0 comunica\u00e7\u00e3o perfeita entre os hospitais e as equipas do INEM, Robert apresentou uma r\u00e1pida melhoria neurol\u00f3gica ap\u00f3s o AVC e p\u00f4de deixar o hospital poucos dias depois. Foi ent\u00e3o encaminhado para um centro de reabilita\u00e7\u00e3o em Boston para ajudar na sua recupera\u00e7\u00e3o.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Um acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) \u00e9 uma condi\u00e7\u00e3o m\u00e9dica grave que requer cuidados de emerg\u00eancia. De acordo com o CDC, a cada 40 segundos algu\u00e9m nos Estados Unidos tem um AVC, totalizando mais de 795.000 pessoas nos Estados Unidos todos os anos. Os acidentes vasculares cerebrais s\u00e3o tamb\u00e9m a principal causa de incapacidade grave a longo prazo no pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este ano, os tr\u00eas hospitais de Southcoast receberam reconhecimento nacional<\/a> pelos cuidados excepcionais que prestam \u00e0 nossa comunidade no dom\u00ednio do AVC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ao regressar a Southcoast Health, a equipa de cuidados de sa\u00fade de Robert ficou entusiasmada por o ver. Embora tenha sofrido outro AVC ap\u00f3s a experi\u00eancia inicial em novembro, fez progressos not\u00e1veis e est\u00e1 quase totalmente recuperado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A equipa de cuidados de sa\u00fade que se encontrou com Robert em novembro presenteou-o com um pin do c\u00e9rebro, algo que a Southcoast Health oferece aos prestadores de cuidados de sa\u00fade e ao pessoal das equipas m\u00e9dicas que est\u00e3o envolvidas em cuidados excepcionais de AVC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kendra Bento, RN, recebeu o seu pin de c\u00e9rebro pelo seu papel nos cuidados de Robert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
