Amantadine and Modafinil as Neurostimulants Following Acute Stroke: A Retrospective Study of Intensive Care Unit Patients 2020-05-20 .txt text/plain 5727 260 41 Neurostimulant administration data were extracted from the electronic medication administration record, including medication (amantadine, modafinil, or both), starting dose, time from stroke to initiation, and whether the neurostimulant was continued at hospital discharge. Amantadine and modafinil are administered to patients following acute stroke in our intensive care unit (ICU) on an ad hoc basis, but data supporting this practice are largely limited to delayed treatment in rehabilitation or outpatient facilities with very few reports during the acute care hospitalization [17] [18] [19] . Two hundred five patients received amantadine and/ or modafinil during the 3.7 year study period and 118 patients were initially excluded: neurostimulant administered for an indication other than acute stroke (TBI [n = 50], cardiac arrest [n = 15], brain tumor [n = 6], encephalitis [n = 5], or encephalopathy [n = 4]); neurostimulant prescribed prior to hospital admission (n = 27) or administered for < 72 h (n = 8); or history of seizures (n = 3). ./cache/cord-011483-zc6ve6le.txt ./txt/cord-011483-zc6ve6le.txt
