Results of Systemizing Stroke Care in Acute Endovascular Patients (P2.308)
CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of a streamlined routing and transfer process significantly shortened treatment times and decreased complications in our stroke patients. Our pre-established expedited triage, imaging, stroke physician expertise, and mechanical clot retrieval proficiency resulted in more favorable outcomes. With these changes, patients receive the most specialized endovascular care in a highly efficient manner.Disclosure: Dr. Hawkins has nothing to disclose. Dr. Martin has nothing to disclose.

Temporal and Racial Trends in Post-Stroke Dementia in the "Stroke Buckle" of the United States (P1.099)
CONCLUSIONS: Over the last decade, incidence of PSD significantly increased in South Carolina. Black stroke patients had higher overall rates of PSD than whites, but this difference was largely driven by a comparatively greater burden of Non-AD dementia. Since Non-AD dementia is predominantly composed of vascular dementia, better vascular risk factor control may help bridge this racial disparity.Disclosure: Dr. Boan has nothing to disclose.

A Survey on Knowledge of Stroke Subtypes and Etiology at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (P1.260)
Conclusions: HS is an under recognized part of stroke subtype at MTRH. Kenya has yet to develop specific national guidelines for HS management. The goal is to utilize the results from this survey to develop education and process improvement initiatives. We hope this will translate into improved care and outcomes for patients with stroke at MTRH.Disclosure: Dr. Lin has nothing to disclose. Dr. Guhwe has nothing to disclose.

Improving Resident Performance in Acute Stroke Management Through Simulation Based Training (P5.152)
CONCLUSIONS: Simulation training is a welcome addition to traditional lecture based education with subjective and objective improvements in resident knowledge and confidence. Further study is needed to see if gains are maintained throughout the year and if patient outcomes are improved. Interdisciplinary simulation training with ER physicians and nurses may enhance teamwork during acute stroke codes.Disclosure: Dr. Johnsen has nothing to disclose.
