Head Position in Stroke Trial

"Head position during the first 48 hours from admission of patients with acute ischemic stroke.~This trial is organized as a cluster randomised trial to a policy of flat head position or upright head position. Clusters will be months, so that all patients admitted during a given month will be positioned either in the flat down head position (intervention) or upright head position (control). This will allow health teams to follow a monthly protocol without changing position between patients."
