Measuring Quality Improvement in Acute Ischemic Stroke Care: Interrupted Time Series Analysis of Door-to-Needle Time
BACKGROUND In patients with acute ischemic stroke, early treatment with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) improves functional outcome by effectively reducing disability and dependency. Timely thrombolysis, within 1 h, is a vital aspect of acute stroke treatment, and is reflected in the widely used performance indicator 'door-to-needle time' (DNT). DNT measures the time from the mo...

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...
متن کاملImproving Door-to-Needle Times for Acute Ischemic Stroke
Faster treatment with intravenous alteplase (tissue-type plasminogen activator) results in better outcomes. Although the benchmark door-to-needle time (DTN) has been set at 60 minutes, many centers have been able to exceed this benchmark with median times from 20 to 51 minutes. These local efforts have been supported by national and international efforts to reduce DTN time. For example, the Ame...

A qualitative assessment of practices associated with shorter door-to-needle time for thrombolytic therapy in acute ischemic stroke.
Early treatment with intravenous (IV) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator/alteplase (tPA) is associated with improved outcomes for patients with an acute ischemic stroke. Thus, rapid triage and treatment of stroke patients are essential, with a goal of door-to-needle time of no more than 60 minutes. We sought to identify best practices associated with faster treatment among hospitals parti...
