Abstract
The objective of this article is to represent the role of anesthetic personnel in anesthesia preparation and management of stroke patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Siriraj Hospital. This article defines the characteristics and types of strokes and describes the management processes of anesthetic personnel, which start from admitting stroke patients to transferring them into wards during the COVID-19 pandemic. The management processes include preprocedural management, personnel, medication and pharmaceutical management. Dividing these processes results in anesthetic nurses working effectively as a team, minimizing management time, and maximizing the benefits for stroke patients.
