Abstract:Introduction:
Acute ischemic stroke treatment is time sensitive especially for large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes with the goal to achieve early cerebral reperfusion. Research suggests standardized protocols incorporate early notification to reduce time from arrival to mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The MT workflow at a certified stroke center required multiple phone calls to mobilize staff and resources resulting in treatment delays. The average time from neurosurgery notification (NN) to case st… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
