Deans' stroke musings: American Heart Association says Stroke Patients fare better in Hospitals speeding care

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

American Heart Association says Stroke Patients fare better in Hospitals speeding care

These idiots are measuring the wrong thing. You don't measure processing time, you measure results. Less dead and damaged neurons. When you measure stroke that way you will finally realize that you are allowing billions of neurons to die on a daily basis because you are doing nothing to stop the neuronal cascade of death.
But could they fare even better by finding ways to stop the neuronal cascade of death?

Key elements of Target: Stroke include:

Emergency medical services notifying hospitals that they’re transporting a stroke victim.
A single phone call activating the hospital stroke team.
Eligible stroke patients being quickly moved from the emergency department to the lab, so a CT scan can be done within 25 minutes of arrival.
Pre-preparing tPA for eligible stroke patients.
Tools including guidelines, stroke scale and triage protocols.

Nothing here on procedures during the first week. Massive failure, these people need to be fired.
