AIM: The aim of the final paper is to present the treatment and care for a patient with a diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke through tests of health care and nursing care. The paper will present patient care before and after the thrombectomy procedure, and patient education for the purpose of preventing repeated strokes. DISCUSSION: Patient B.B., 73 years old, came to the emergency department of the Clinical Hospital Center (KBC) Split on March 19, 2023 due to the onset of weakness in the right limbs with speech disorders. In the emergency department, a computed tomography (CT) was performed, which did not show any form of intracranial bleeding, while a hypodense area was seen in the left parietal-occipital area, which corresponds to the initial demarcation of the ischemic area, and an indication was set for performing the aspiration thrombectomy procedure. Nurses anticipate the needs of patients, recognize possible complications of procedures and maintain patient safety. During the mechanical thrombectomy procedure, the nurse plays a key role in the assessment of prevention, early identification and monitoring of possible signs of neurological deterioration, application of procedural drugs, proper documentation of the procedure. The patient is conscious, hypertensive, and complains of pain on admission to the neurological intensive care unit. place of the procedure. The nurse connected the patient to a monitor with recommendations for monitoring vital functions. The nurse makes nursing diagnoses and provides nursing care through the health care process. CONCLUSIONS: Cerebrovascular insult, commonly known as stroke, is generally classified as ischemic or hemorrhagic. In both categories, the result is a loss of blood flow, nutrients and oxygen to the brain area, resulting in neuronal damage and consequent neurological deficits. The final paper presents the case of a 73-year-old patient who was diagnosed with cerebral infarction due to thrombosis of the cerebral arteries in the emergency department of KBC Split, and an indication for aspiration tombectomy was set. The patient is in a good general condition, with the withdrawal of stroke symptoms and was discharged to home care.
