Stroke Triage: EMS needs a diagnostic tool that goes beyond a simple history & physical exam
As a young EMT and paramedic, I had relatively little education about acute myocardial infarctions. In the age of the 3-lead ECG, education was largely focused on arrhythmia detection and how to differentiate heart blocks, tachycardia and bradycardia. Detection of heart attack was largely based upon history and physical exam findings. Three decades later, the thought of relying on a physical exam to diagnose a ST- elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is hard to imagine. Although we’ve made remarkable progress in the prehospital detection of STEMI, we’ve made significantly less progress in the diagnosis of acute stro...

A Prospective Stroke Register in Sierra Leone: Demographics, Stroke Type, Stroke Care and Hospital Outcomes
This study reports the demographics, stroke types, stroke care and hospital outcomes for stroke in Freetown, Sierra Leone.Methods: A prospective observational register recorded all patients 18 years and over with stroke between May 2019 and April 2020. Stroke was defined according to the WHO criteria. Pearson's chi-squared test was used to examine associations between categorical variables and unpaired t-tests for continuous variables. Multivariable logistic regression, to explain in-hospital death, was reported as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals.Results: Three hundred eighty-five strokes were registered, an...

Years of life lost from ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke related to ambient nitrogen dioxide exposure: A multicity study in China.
Abstract Few multicity studies have been conducted in developing countries to distinguish the acute effects of ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) on the years of life lost (YLL) from different subtypes of stroke. We aimed to differentiate the associations between NO2 exposure and YLL from major pathological types of stroke in China, and estimate the relevant economic loss. A time-series study was conducted to explore the associations between short-term NO2 exposure and YLL from ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke from 2013 to 2017 in 48 Chinese cities. Daily NO2 data and stroke mortality counts for each city were obtain...

Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number as a Marker and Mediator of Stroke Prognosis: Observational and Mendelian Randomization Analyses
CONCLUSIONS: Buffy coat mtDNA-CN is a novel and robust marker of post-stroke prognosis that may also be a causal determinant of post-stroke outcomes.CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides class II evidence that low buffy coat mtDNA-CN (>1-standard deviation) was associated with worse baseline severity and 1-month outcomes in patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.PMID:34880091 | DOI:10.1212/WNL.0000000000013165

Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) utilisation by rural clinicians in acute ischaemic stroke: A survey of barriers and enablers.
CONCLUSIONS: To reduce barriers to rt-PA utilisation in rural facilities physicians require education on the calculated risk of ICH as well as exposure and experience to improve their ability to confidently diagnose stroke patients who are eligible for rt-PA treatment. Education for nurses on symptoms of stroke and rt-PA utilisation and administration is recommended. PMID: 24118148 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Medical and neurological complications among stroke patients admitted for inpatient care in addis ababa, ethiopia.
CONCLUSIONS: Complications after stroke are common and are major factors contributing to mortality. Being aware of the types of common complications and associated risk factors helps the clinical team involved in the care of stroke patients to make preparations and plans for the best possible care and to take preventive measures that will save a lot of lives with best possible use of meager resources available such as educating the population to avoid oral feeding for patients with altered mental state and physicians to evaluate gag reflex bedside swallowing test and proper positioning of patients to avoid aspiration pneum...

Maternal death from stroke: a thirty year national retrospective review
Conclusion: This is the largest UK study examining the incidence of fatal maternal stroke in pregnancy and the puerperium. Our results highlight the high proportion of women who die from stroke in the puerperium. Sub-standard care featured especially in regard to management of dangerously high systolic blood pressure levels. These deaths highlight the importance of education in managing rapid-onset hypertension and superimposed coagulopathies.

Management of ischemic stroke in the hyperacute phase.
Authors: Devos D, Sevin M, De Gaalon S, Lintia-Gaultier A, Guillon B Abstract Over the last 15 years, advances in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) management have led to a significant reduction in the morbidity and mortality related to this serious disease. This has resulted from progress in imaging technology, increased access to imaging procedures, enhanced coordination in stroke care from emergency departments to rehabilitation centers, development of organized inpatient stroke units, and to the widespread use of acute thrombolysis. Once the diagnosis of AIS is confirmed by neuroimaging, the etiological work up is co...

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. Dr. Vakani has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kussin has nothing to disclose. Dr. Graffagnino has received personal compensation for activities with Alsius and Medivance as an advisor.
