Palliative Care Consultation Did Not Reduce Length of Stay in a Comprehensive Stroke Center (P1.212)
Conclusion: Palliative care consultation for patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes was not associated with decreased hospital costs or LoS. This is in contrast to previously reported studies. We will further analyze the effect of early palliative care on a larger sample size to validate the findings. We also propose that a standardized palliative care trigger tool be implemented for early PC consultation in patients with debilitating stroke, advanced age, and multiple comorbid conditions.Disclosure: Dr. Tversky has nothing to disclose.

Outcome Assessment of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients after Treatment with IV tPA in a Rural Health System (P02.026)
CONCLUSIONS: Patients administered IV tPA for acute ischemic stroke in a rural hospital setting experienced 90-day outcomes similar to those of historical controls. Further attempts to reduce the number of in-hospital complications and reduce time to administration may result in improved patient outcomes.Supported by: Joan Curran Memorial Summer Fellowship in Neurosciences through Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation.Disclosure: Dr. Milsap has nothing to disclose.
