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.

Establishing the first mobile stroke unit in the United States

And just why the fuck are we doing this? It will be obsolete in a year with these other fast diagnosis tools. Does no one in stroke read ANY research at all? Lemmings with a leader that leads them off a cliff.

Hats off to Helmet of Hope - stroke diagnosis in 30 seconds


 


Microwave Imaging for Brain Stroke Detection and Monitoring using High Performance Computing in 94 seconds


 


New Device Quickly Assesses Brain Bleeding in Head Injuries - 5-10 minutes

Noninvasive Cerebral Oximetry May Help Detect LAO Stroke - 1-2 minutes

Rapid, Portable Stroke Detection Device is 92 Percent Accurate 30 seconds 

 

 The obsolete waste here:

Establishing the first mobile stroke unit in the United States 


StrokeParker SA, et al. | May 15, 2015
The authors describe the steps involved in setting up the first Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) in the United States. The first MSU in the United States has been introduced in Houston, TX. The steps needed to accomplish this are described.

Methods

  • Implementation included establishing leadership, fund-raising, purchase and build-out, knitting a collaborative consortium of community stakeholders, writing protocols to ensure accountability, radiation safety, purchasing supplies, licensing, insurance, establishing a base station, developing a communication plan with city Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Medical Service training, staffing, and designing a research protocol.

Results

  • The MSU was introduced after ≈1 year of preparation.
  • Major obstacles to establishing the MSU were primarily obtaining funding, licensure, documenting radiation safety protocols, and establishing a smooth communication system with Emergency Medical Services.
  • During an 8 week run-in phase, ≈2 patients were treated with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator per week, one-third within 60 minutes of symptom onset, with no complications.
  • A randomized study to determine clinical outcomes, telemedicine reliability and accuracy, and cost effectiveness was formulated and has begun.
