Abstract WP102: Evaluating Door to Blood Pressure Treatment Goals in Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Background and Purpose:2022 Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) guidelines encourage treatment of blood pressure (BP) as soon as possible following identification of ICH. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP102-AWP102, February 1, 2025. Following the intervention, 90.9%

Abstract NS3: Nurse Led Interventions Improve the Timeliness of Blood Pressure Reduction in Patients Presenting With Acute Nontraumatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Introduction:The 2022 AHA/ASA Guidelines for Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) recommend initiating treatment and lowering blood pressure (BP) within 2 hours of ICH onset and reaching the target systolic BP of 130-150mmHg within one hour of treatment initiation. Nurse to patient ratios were changed to 1:1 until goal BP achieved.

Abstract TMP66: Implementing Intracerebral Hemorrhage-Specific Time Interval Metrics in the Emergency Department Reduces Door-to-Goal Blood Pressure Time.

Stroke Journal

Introduction:The 2022 AHA/ASA Guidelines for Nontraumatic ICH recommend initiating blood pressure (BP) reduction within 2 hours of onset and achieving a target systolic BP of 130-150 mmHg within one hour of initiating a BP medication. Emergency Department (ED) code stroke patients with an ICH were included.

Abstract NS7: Time is Brain and Team is Brain! A Partnership to Improve Blood Pressure Control for Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients

Stroke Journal

Background and Purpose:Intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages comprise roughly 15% of all strokes but have a higher risk of mortality and morbidity than ischemic strokes. Controlling hypertension after a hemorrhage is the primary intervention to limit the risk of hematoma expansion (HE) and the sequelae of secondary injury.

Abstract TMP18: Establishing Aggressive Time Targets for the Identification and Treatment of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Improves Patient Outcomes

Stroke Journal

Background and Issues:Timely identification and intervention are critical for positive outcomes in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. The ED team was educated on the new performance goals. The stroke team collected, analyzed, and reported the performance metrics of the ED team throughout implementation.

Abstract WP234: Education and Outcomes in Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Post-Hoc Analysis of the ERICH Study

Stroke Journal

Higher educational attainment has been linked to improved management of risk factors and greater adherence to medical treatments. See Table 1 for demographics by education group. The predicted probability of good outcome by education level was significantly different (Figure 1). 3.85, p=0.002).Conclusion:Our 3.85, p=0.002).Conclusion:Our

Abstract TP282: Hypertension Control in Individuals with Previous Stroke: data from ELSI-Brazil study

Stroke Journal

The main risk factor is hypertension, and blood pressure (BP) control is crucial in the primary and secondary prevention of stroke. Individuals self-reported previous medical history of stroke (including TIA, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke), hypertension, medication intake, and other vascular risk factors.
