Heads Down for Acute Stroke: Supine Position for Acute Large Vessel Occlusion in Ischemic Stroke
This case demonstrates that for large vessel occlusion strokes in the acute stage before surgical, pharmacologic, or radiologic intervention, supine positioning may be assumed because of the hemodynamic changes that can prevent and alleviate stroke, supporting the results of the ZerO Degree head positioning In Acute ischemiC stroke (ZODIAC) trial.
