Stroke Centers Stroke Centers • System approach for stroke shown to improve outcomes Primary Comprehensive • Pre-printed orders, leadership, QA, connection Stroke Stroke to community/EMS Center Center • Joint Commission accreditation and auditing • Comprehensive stroke centers with IV and IA techniques endovacular capability certification started IV t-PA Image Guidance Medical Support • Increasing need in light of new trial data ± Imaging Guidance Neurosurgical support (hemicraniectomy) Challenges Conclusions • Pathophysiology of acute focal ischemia requires • Providing this care to everyone emergency treatment • Prehospital delays • Revascularization can lead to better outcomes, but • Interfacility transfers needs to be achieved quickly before irreversible injury and increased risk for harm • IA therapy for large vessel ischemic stroke now has Level 1 evidence for efficacy (7 positive RCTs) • Current Stroke Centers are just the beginning • Systems need to be built to provide these therapies • We now need to get faster at treatment 9
