P-042 Initial experience with tenecteplase as the intravenous thrombolytic of choice before mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke

272 Clinical Audit on Transient Ischaemic Attack Investigations in Acute Medical Unit
ConclusionPatients admitted to AMU with suspected TIAs had relevant imaging and tests completed as per guidelines. 89 % had US Carotid Dopplers which were on average done 33h from admission. 58% of patients had inpatient heart monitoring. The average length of stay was 3 days but three patients stayed in AMU for up to 5 days. Protected imaging slots for AMU would expedite investigations and reduce inpatient stay.
