Is the golden hour related to strokes as well?

Blockage of blood flow to the brain by a clot in the blood vessels of the brain can lead to paralysis. Early intervention within 4.5 hours from symptom onset is vital. TPA (tissue plasminogen activator) is known to dissolve the clot. Early administration of this vital drug minimizes brain damage, improves neurological recovery, and reduces disability.
Sepsis management!
