Abstract TP362: Implementation of a Stroke Response Nurse to Decrease Door to Groin Puncture Times in Patients Undergoing Endovascular Intervention for Acute Ischemic Stroke
Abstract:Background:
A focus on timely reperfusion is a key component to improving outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular procedures. Since there are many patient factors such as vascular anatomy and procedure tolerance that cannot be controlled, the ability of endovascular centers to expedite the pre-groin puncture process including pre-procedure imaging and assessments is key to achieving reduction of door to reperfusion times.
