STAND: Ultrasound of Cerebral Blood Flow During First Verticalization in Acute Stroke-A Prospective Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The optimal timing for mobilizing patients during the acute phase of ischemic stroke remains unclear. Prior research has produced conflicting results, often neglecting the impact of upstream arterial stenosis on cerebral blood flow. This study aimed to determine whether early transition to a seated position in the acute phase of ischemic stroke influences intracranial hemodynamics, particularly in patients with significant carotid stenosis.

Methods

In a prospective, bi-centric, 1:1 case-control observational study (NCT04180826), we continuously and non-invasively monitored cerebral and systemic hemodynamics during the first authorized transition from supine to a sitting position in patients with ischemic stroke of the carotid territory. Cases were defi
