Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP47-AWP47, February 1, 2024. Background:In 2021, our Comprehensive Stroke Center (CSC) in San Antonio (SA), Texas received 7 pediatric patients suffering from signs and symptoms of stroke. This would then prompt the activation of the Pedi ED Stroke Alert Protocol.

Background:A mandatory educational requirement for nurses and staff at designated stroke centers existed within a health system, but the process varied across sites. Staff selected their own educational content, leading to minimal engagement and irrelevant content.

I brought the patient to the critical care area and told the providers I thought it was atrial flutter with 2:1 AV conduction, but there is an outside chance that it is VT. But the duration of symptoms was prolonged and so to avoid the risk of stroke, AV nodal blockade (rate control) was preferred. We want to avoid a stroke.

Although the shock is no doubt partly a result of poor pump function, with low stroke volume, especially of the RV, it should be compensated for by tachycardia. Cardiac output is stroke volume x rate, so this patient needs a higher heart rate. This is a perfect indication for atropine.
