Comparison of Outcomes After Treatment of Large Vessel Occlusion in a Critical Care Resuscitation Unit or a Neurocritical Care Unit

ConclusionThe CCRU increased AIS-LVO patients ’ access to definitive care and reduced their transfer time from outlying medical facilities while achieving outcomes similar to those attained by patients treated in the subspecialty NCCU. We conclude that a resuscitation unit can complement the NCCU to care for patients in the hyperacute phase o f AIS-LVO.
