Introduction:Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) carries high morbidity and mortality. Survivors often require extended care at skilled nursing facilities (SNF) or long-term acute care centers (LTAC). Intraventricular hemorrhage (OR 0, 95% CI 0-1.12, p=0.043), tracheostomy (OR=0.14, 95% CI 0.14-1.01, years vs. 70.29.3,
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.
the 2023 calendar year, our comprehensive stroke metric for hemorrhagic stroke scoring was at 64%, below the 'Get with the Guidelines' benchmark of 87%.To the 2023 calendar year, our comprehensive stroke metric for hemorrhagic stroke scoring was at 64%, below the 'Get with the Guidelines' benchmark of 87%.To
Background:The 2023 American Heart Association/American Stroke AssociationsGuideline for Management of Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage(SAH) support use of the Ottawa Rule to screen individuals at risk. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ANS1-ANS1, February 1, 2025.
BackgroundPatients with ischemic stroke and concomitant COVID‐19 infection have worse outcomes than those without this infection, but the impact of COVID‐19 on hemorrhagic stroke remains unclear. We aimed to assess if COVID‐19 worsens outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods 1.14]), 5% higher mortality (OR, 1.05 [95% CI, 1.02–1.08]),
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.
It is also a celebration of the value of remarkable teamwork, as this progress has occurred only because of the close collaboration between the interventional cardiology and cardiothoracic communities, as well as major contributions from nursing and industry clinical support teams.”
Introduction:Managing post-acute hemorrhagic stroke care is complex and necessitates close follow-up and coordination. Outcome data was similar for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage all p<0.05.Conclusion:Prehospital
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.
Introduction:Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) leads to the highest mortality among stroke patients. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP136-AWP136, February 1, 2025. ICH expansion causes worse outcomes, especially with anticoagulant-associated ICH. The checklist tracks blood pressure (BP) management and calling a neurosurgery consult.
to skilled-nursing facility, and 4.2% Introduction:Stroke patients experience higher levels of social isolation (SI) compared to their age matched healthy cohorts which is associated with poor quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality. Overall, 24 (21.8%) patients experienced some degree of social isolation (54.2% mild, and 45.8%
Inclusion criteria was a diagnosis of ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We dichotomized DD as good (home, inpatient rehab) or poor (hospice, left against medical advice, acute care facility, intermediate care, and skilled nursing facility). Two-tailed p value of less than 0.05
The program involves telephone visits with a stroke-specialized nurse within 1 week after discharge and 3 months post-discharge. Patients were also provided with the stroke nurses direct contact information to help navigate the healthcare system. The control group included patients not enrolled in the program. vs 69.3%, p=0.04).
12, I60-69), clinical data was extracted by a research nurse and adjudicated by physicians. We determined the ability of prehospital LVO triage scores to identify ICH patients and to discriminate lobar from non-lobar ICH.Methods:We identified ICH cases presenting to the ED in Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky in 2005, 2010, and 2015.
We subsequently educated constituents including nursing, pharmacy, technical and clinical staff. Median door-to-needle (DTN), door-to-puncture (DTP), thrombolytic utilization and symptomatic hemorrhage rates were recorded at five primary (P) and a comprehensive stroke center (C).Results:During Symptomatic hemorrhage occurred in 0.0%(P),
There were no differences in symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhages between the two groups.Conclusion:The implementation of a hospital wide process that focuses on a neurology resident physician and nursing collaboration greatly improves IHS SRT to thrombolytic administration time with a trend towards improvement in SRT to skin puncture time.
Neuro-telemetry nurses designed Stroke 90 as a follow-up outreach program to reduce the stroke readmission average by 2% over six months and address knowledge gaps. Purpose Patients with a history of stroke have a significantly higher risk of readmission.
Nurses were provided with dosing table and care instruction badge backers. All impacted disciplines received education, including nursing skills demonstration. The system Alteplase hemorrhagic complication rate was 2.8% The legal department approved as our new standard of care for AIS. Guidelines and references were updated.
Based on assessment and individual patient factors, possible algorithm pathways included dysphagia treatment and/or calorie count by nursing and dieticians to guide decision-making for PEG placement.A Data included 68 acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients admitted to the Neurology and Neurosurgery services from 1/1/2023-2/29/24.
58% of articles assessed ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke participants, and 9 studies only tested aphasia patients. The research questions aim to evaluate technical aspects of digital tests, digital tool effectiveness, cognitive domains assessed, study population characteristics, patient usability, and exam feasibility.
The purpose of this study was to determine if there is an optimal time frame to call patients and whether call fatigue affects call completion rate.Methods:Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients discharged to home with and without home health from 2/2024 to 6/2024 were included. Two call attempts were made.
DESTINY was incorporated into EHR and standardized workflow for nursing triage in ED. Acute symptomatic stroke occurred in 39% (n=110) (sTIA, 20; PCI, 31; CRAO, 5; MeVO, 22; LVO, 19; hemorrhagic, 11, other, 13). CSTAT (questions: 2, 4, 5, 10) and VAN (questions: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10) were embedded in the tool.
A switch to TNK was implemented at our Comprehensive Stroke center (CSC) after a rigorous training of nurses and providers on May 1, 2021. No significant differences in rates of symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage (SICH) were observed between two groups (2.6% ALT vs 2.9%
Separate multivariable logistic regression models were fit to determine factors associated with discharge to IR vs. home (model 1) and IR vs. unfavorable discharge (UD; long-term acute care, skilled nursing facility, hospice, expired, other; model 2). Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are reported. female and15.7%
vs. 8.9%) hemorrhage; discharged to a skilled nursing facility (19.8% Of the 1,719 patients not LTFU, 974 (56.7%) had a provider visit, 405 (23.6%) had an unplanned admission, and 257 (14.9%) had an unplanned ED visit within 30 days post-discharge. Patients who were LTFU were significantly more likely to be male (52.9% vs. 40.7%).
New intracerebral hemorrhage occurred in 7% of patients (3/43) and unplanned return to OR occurred in 14.8% 16.3% (7/43) of patients were discharged to inpatient rehabilitation or a skilled nursing facility. The post-operative complication rate was 9.3% (4/43). of patients who underwent microsurgery (4/27). There were no mortalities.
Introduction:Over half of stroke patients experience sexual dysfunction as a result of an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Interviewed interdisciplinary in-patient and out-patient treatment team members including physicians, nurses, occupational therapists and physical therapists.
Background:Utilizing medical claims derived information, we evaluated temporal trends in post-acute care utilization pathways among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods:Data Analytical sample included all Medicare enrollees with a primary discharge diagnosis (AIS or ICH) from 2016 to 2020.
The significance of underdosing or overdosing of TNK may not achieve the desired patient outcome and may increase the risk of complications such as hemorrhage, anaphylaxis, thromboembolism, arrhythmia, intracranial hemorrhage, extended hospitalizations, and death.
Background:We evaluate the contemporary trends and socioeconomic disparities in utilization of post-stroke rehabilitation using statewide inpatient data from 5 states with large and diverse populations.Methods:We used ICD codes (I60, I61, I63) to identify adult patients (18 years) discharged home (including home health), to IRF, or skilled nursing (..)
An analysis of the rates of post‐intervention intracerebral hemorrhage showed that there was no significant difference observed between groups. CM‐HF patients had higher rates of in‐patient complications such as PEG placement, tracheostomy, sepsis, DVT or PE, pneumonia, UTI, AKI, myocardial infarction, and intracerebral hemorrhage.
