Kettering Health Network emergency centers are advancing stroke treatment options for the community.

Utilizing RAPID, an artificial intelligence program, along with

upgraded CT scanners, we can now treat ischemic stroke

patients up to 24 hours after they were last seen normal.

Patient Benefits• Patients that are outside of the tissue plasminogen

activator (tPA) window can be quickly scanned at

any Kettering Health Network emergency facility

and identified as candidates for clot retrieval.

• Patients that are identified as needing intervention

will be transferred immediately to Kettering

Medical Center’s Comprehensive Stroke Center for

clot retrieval.

• RAPID software greatly decreases the time

spent in treatment decision and clot retrieval,

which will help patients avoid long-term deficits.

• Patients can receive immediate, lifesaving stroke

care in their community at any Kettering Health

Network emergency center.
