The Role Of Prehospital Care Algorithms In Reducing Time Delays In Acute Cerebrovascular Accident
Abstract
In ischemic stroke, each minute of treatment delay is associated with the loss of approximately 1.9 million neurons [1], and shorter door-to-needle times are associated with lower in-hospital mortality and better outcomes [2]. The lack of standardized algorithms is one of the causes of time delays and low effectiveness of prehospital care, whereas their implementation can substantially shorten the time to reperfusion therapy [3, 4].
