Fluid excess on intensive care unit after mechanical thrombectomy after acute ischemic stroke is associated with unfavorable neurological and functional outcomes: An observational cohort study
Fluid retention in post-thrombectomy stroke patients in the ICU is associated with poorer functional and neurological outcomes. Consequently, fluid retention emerges as an additional potential predictor for post-intervention stroke outcomes. Our findings provide an initial indication that preventing excessive fluid retention in stroke patients after endovascular thrombectomy could be beneficial for both functional and neurological recovery. Therefore, fluid retention might be an element to consider in optimizing fluid management for stroke patients.
