Timely treatment by MKCG team helps save ASI's life
Berhampur: Prompt intervention by doctors at MKCG Medical College and Hospital here helped save a 49-year-old assistant sub-inspector (ASI) after he suffered an acute ischemic stroke on duty. The hospital's medical team performed thrombolysis on the patient within the critical window period, marking a first for MKCG, doctors said. Thrombolysis, a procedure involving the infusion of clot-busting medication, is most effective when administered within 4.5 hours of onset of stroke symptoms, which significantly increases the chances of patient recovery, experts said.
