Good Morning,
During a discussion with one of our neurologist he said "The leading
cause of death once a patient gets to the hospital after an acute CVA is
aspiration pneumonia" and that "Early administration of PO aspirin in
acute CVA does not have any effect on long-term outcomes, so they can be
STRICT npo until speech sees them!!!!!!!!"

I have searched and asked the neurologist for sources.  Does anyone
have any references that may prove or disprove these statements?

Thank you in advance,
Chris Babashka
