Correction

In the version of the article "Guidelines for the Early Management of Adults With Ischemic Stroke: A Guideline From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Stroke Council, Clinical Cardiology Council, Cardiovascular Radiology and Intervention Council, and the Atherosclerotic Peripheral Vascular Disease and Quality of Care Outcomes in Research Interdisciplinary Working Groups" by Adams et al that published ahead of print on April 12, 2007, and in the May 2007 issue of Stroke¹, several changes were required. The following updates have been made to the current online version of this article and were incorporated into the version that appeared in the May 22, 2007, issue of Circulation²:

1. On page 1669, in the next to last paragraph of the first column, the sentence "However, patients with acute stroke should be monitored with pulse oximetry with a target oxygen saturation level <92%" should read "However, patients with acute stroke should be monitored with pulse oximetry with a target oxygen saturation level 92%."

2. In Table 10, line 9, "Nicardipine infusion, 5 mg/h, titrate up by 0.25 mg/h at 5- to 15-minute intervals...." should read "Nicardipine infusion, 5 mg/h, titrate up by 2.5 mg/h at 5- to 15-minute intervals...."

3. On page 1674, first column, lines 3 and 4, "... systolic blood pressure is >220 mm Hg or the mean blood pressure is >120 mm Hg..." should read "...systolic blood pressure is >220 mm Hg or the diastolic blood pressure is >120 mm Hg..."

4. In Table 11, the 15th entry, "Not taking an oral anticoagulant or, if anticoagulant being taken, INR 1.5" should read "Not taking an oral anticoagulant or, if anticoagulant being taken, INR 1.7".

5. On page 1679, in the first column, line 13, the sentence "A meta-analysis of the studies of heparin found a benefit from administration of the medication.³⁶⁷" should read "A meta-analysis of the studies of heparin found no benefit from administration of the medication.³⁶⁷"
