The Moncton Hospital - Family Practice & Geriatrics



	Stroke Unit The Moncton Hospital's Stroke Unit provides specialized care for patients who have had an acute stroke. The Stroke Unit beds are incorporated into Family Practice 4600, on the hospital's fourth floor. The Stroke Unit provides patients with an interdisciplinary team, specialized equipment and specialized care plan in one geographic location. This facilitates better communication between team members, which results in better acute care. The Stroke Unit strives to have patients move about shortly after their admission. Other key objectives for the unit are for the patients to regain their ability to swallow and to promptly assess and meet their dietary needs. These objectives in combination with specialized consultations with medical staff from other units in the hospital allow for a better outcome for stroke patients that includes a reduced length of stay and measurable improvement in function. Patients admitted to the Stroke Unit include: all non-intensive care unit patients with a diagnosis of stroke, or a cerebrovascular accident (CVA); ischemic brain attack; left or right temporal lobe or hemisphere stroke; cerebullar or brainstem infarction; seizures that may have been caused by a stroke; transient ischemic attack (TIA); lacunar event; frontal infarct; and right sided weakness.
