متن کاملImproving Door to Needle time in Patients for Thrombolysis
Ischaemic stroke can result in approximately 2 million brain neurones being damaged for each minute that it is left untreated. Various trials and studies such as the National Institute of Neurologic Disorders (NINDS) trial, the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study (ECASS), ECASS II, and the Alteplase Thrombolysis for Acute Noninterventional Therapy in Ischemic Stroke (ATLANTIS) study have cl...
متن کاملAchieving a door-to-needle time of 25 minutes in thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke: a quality improvement project.
BACKGROUND Providing intravenous thrombolysis with short door-to-needle time is the result of a complex process that requires specific work standards. To expedite care for acute ischemic stroke patients, close collaboration between all participating health care professionals is required. The aim of this project was to reduce in-hospital treatment delay for acute ischemic stroke patients through...
