A projected rise in heart disease and stroke – along with several key risk factors, including high blood pressure and obesity – is likely to triple related costs to $1.8 A projected rise in heart disease and stroke – along with several key risk factors, including high blood pressure and obesity – is likely to triple related costs to $1.8
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP172-AWP172, February 1, 2025. Smartphone-based pupillometry offers potential for widespread neurological monitoring in criticalcare, including for stroke patients in both hospital and post-hospital rehabilitation settings.

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.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A155-A155, February 1, 2024. This population is at high risk for cerebral edema and other complications, often leading to critical decisions about decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) or early withdrawal of care (WOC).
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP77-AWP77, February 1, 2025. Background:Strokes can occur anywhere in the hospital and stroke codes are not limited to dedicated stroke units. Despite this, most educational resources are focused on stroke-specific units rather than on all inpatient nursing areas.

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP24-ATMP24, February 1, 2025. Background and Purpose:The Stroke Response Team (SRT) is comprised of a criticalcare RN with neuro experience and a Neuro ICU APP. If a stroke alert was called in the ED, the SRT RN met the patient in the ED to establish a baseline exam.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP68-ATP68, February 1, 2025. 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.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP336-ATP336, February 1, 2025. Improvements in acute stroke treatment, including EVT and criticalcare management, have increased survival rates post-stroke. However, many stroke survivors have significant post-stroke disability and cognitive impairment.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP86-AWP86, February 1, 2025. Background:During continuous quality improvement review, multidisciplinary opportunities were identified to help improve the care of large vessel occlusion (LVO) patients across several departments within the study institution.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP169-AWP169, February 1, 2025. Background:Rapid transfer of patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) from primary stroke centers (PSCs) to comprehensive stroke centers (CSCs) is crucial for optimizing outcomes.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP43-AWP43, February 1, 2024. It is a particular challenge within specialty units, resulting in the loss of specialty nursing knowledge, assessment, and critical thinking skills relevant to specific patient populations.
Reducing Hospitalizations by Detecting Early Warning Signs One of the biggest cost drivers in cardiovascular care is unplanned hospitalizations due to acute cardiac events like heart attacks and strokes. By integrating these predictions into daily clinical workflows, they observed a reduction in average length of stay by 0.67
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP63-ATP63, February 1, 2025. Background and Issues:A neurovascular intensive care unit (ICU) had a large volume of employee turnover associated with burnout and moral distress.
I brought the patient to the criticalcare 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.
He had a h/o ischemic cardiomyopathy and right MCA stroke. He was brought to the criticalcare area where these rhythms were seen on the monitor: Wide complex tachycardia with no apparent P-waves, and very irregular Consistent with atrial fibrillation with aberrancy A Regular wide complex tachycardia.
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.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP29-ATMP29, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Mobile Stroke Treatment Units (MSTU) are improving clinical outcomes by significantly shortening the time-to-treatment. women) evaluated by the MSTU crew, but not admitted due to lower concern for stroke.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP264-ATP264, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Children with cardiac diseases are at an increased risk to develop ischemic stroke that can lead to lifelong neurological deficits. We contrasted the blood pressure with age and admission year matched CCCU controls without a history of stroke.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP24-AWP24, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Because of the risk of infarcted tissue leading to symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) after intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke, patients are monitored for at least 24 hours in a criticalcare setting.
