Stroke Facts
• Stroke is a “brain attack” • Third leading cause of death and No. 1 cause of adult
disability• Approximately 795,000 stroke occur each year• 87% Ischemic (blocked artery) 13% Hemorrhagic
(broken vessel)• Two million brain cells die every minute during a
stroke• TIME IS BRAIN! ACT FAST!
Benefits of Telestroke
• Telestroke links community hospitals to a stroke specialist– Helps community hospitals to deliver evidence-based acute
stroke management– Increase the number of eligible stroke patients who receive tPA– Improve patient outcomes, decrease stroke related disability,
and reduce health care cost– Decreases the number of unnecessary transfers
• Only FDA approved treatment for Ischemic Stroke– Clot busting drug called tPA (tissue plasminogen activator)– Administered w/i 3 hours of symptom onset
• Thrombolytic therapy is rarely used in community hospitals– Lack of on-site stroke-care expertise, concern for hemorrhage,
lack of neuroradiologists
Telestroke at Memorial Health
• Telestroke at MH is a web-based, telemedicine system– Hub and Spoke Model– Utilizing real-time audio/video conferencing between hospitals– Data is collected and stored
Key Elements – Strong physician leadership - instrumental in the development
and implementation of our custom-built stroke platform– Support from ED at spoke and hub hospitals– Share Stroke Order Sets and Protocols– Offer education to spoke hospitals
• ASLS • tPA reconstitution & administration• Acute Stroke Management
Benefits to Telestroke
• Advantages to telestroke versus telephone– Visualization of patients in the ED– Ability to perform a valid NIHSS– CT scan– Decreased travel time for physicians– Ability to take call from anywhere
• Challenges to telestroke– Funding– Reimbursement– Software issues– Licensure
