Overview

Endovascular thrombectomy is the standard of care for acute ischaemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion. Current guidelines for periprocedural anaesthesiological care give gross recommendations on management of stroke patients during recanalization, but lack detailed information.

To determine how anaesthesiologists support endovascular thrombectomy with regard to anaesthetic technique, choice of substances, haemodynamic management, and ventilation. With a multivariate analysis, the investigators will look for the factors of anesthetic management that are independently correlated with a good or bad outcome.
