The literature data revealed different, sometimes contradictory, views on the influence of the treatment in neurovascular departments of patients with stroke on mortality, fatal, short- and long-term outcomes, quality of life of patients and their need in secondary care. In Orel city (a population is about 331,300) patients with acute disturbances of cerebral blood circulation are admitted to neurovascular departments of the Region clinic (60 beds plus 6) and to the Semashko envergency hospital (40 beds plus 6 beds in the intensive therapy ward), where neurologists are able to use all methods of critical intensive therapy.
