Background and Purpose-The effects of early upright positioning in the acute phase of ischemic stroke on both blood pressure and functional outcome have not been previously examined. Methods-Prospective investigation of mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation in the supine, sitting, and (if achievable) active standing position 1, 2, and 3 days after an acute stroke was performed. Also investigated was the presence of a significant postural blood pressure rise and fall using orthostatic definitions and the relation to functional outcome after 3 months. Results-One hundred sixty-seven patients were included (mean age, 68.5 +/- 15.2 years; median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, 7). Approximately 60% of ...
