Abstract WP5: Bundling Of Head Computed Tomography Scan And Head And Neck Computed Tomography Angiogram At Initial Telestroke Consultation Is Associated With Faster Thrombectomy Transfer And Treatment Times
Abstract:Introduction:
Telestroke has expanded access to tPA and thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke and improved neurologic outcomes. A key step in the evaluation of acute stroke is non-contrast head CT (HCT) and head and neck CT angiogram (CTA). These imaging studies can either be bundled at presentation, or a delayed CTA may be performed after a tPA decision based on HCT alone. Bundled imaging may facilitate faster transfer and treatment times, while delaying tPA. We investigated the effect of bundled… Show more
