Ep 80: What Is a Mobile Stroke Unit? With Dr. May Nour | The Health Exchange Podcast

Episode 80 of The Health Exchange Podcast takes a look at the Mobile Stroke Unit with Dr. May Nour, a vascular and interventional neurologist and Medical Director of the UCLA Health Mobile Stroke Rescue Program. Dr. Rutland and Dr. Nour discuss what happens inside the brain during a stroke, why every minute can mean the loss of millions of brain cells, and how recognizing symptoms quickly can dramatically change a patient's outcome. The conversation breaks down the differences between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, the risk factors that put people of all ages at risk, and why as many as 90% of strokes may be preventable through lifestyle changes and better management of chronic conditions. They also take an inside look at UCLA's groundbreaking Mobile Stroke Unit, an innovative program bringing advanced brain imaging and life-saving treatment directly to patients before they ever reach the hospital, transforming the future of emergency stroke care.Follow Our Host:instagram.com/drjrutlandProduced by Born Ready Films:instagram.com/bornreadyfilms
