Which infections should be expected primarily? How to correctly prescribe antibiotics and what indications should be considered? All these questions are presented in the presentation by prof.

The frequency of cerebral stroke in the world is 9 million people annually, and the number of patients in the population who have had a stroke and survived is 30 million people. One of the main questions in medicine today is how to prevent this and reduce patient disability. Therefore, prof., Dr. Anton Volosovets, head of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine, provided a comprehensive overview of updated recommendations for ischemic stroke prevention based on ASA 2021 recommendations.
