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.

Region's First Mobile Stroke Unit(University of Cincinnati) Seeks To Speed Up Treatment

 And why would you want to roll out something that slow? Incompetently didn't know about faster options? Not your job to keep up with current stroke research?

Laziness? Incompetence? Or just don't care? No leadership? No strategy? Not my job?

Region's First Mobile Stroke Unit(University of Cincinnati) Seeks To Speed Up Treatment

Seconds count(How many?) in stroke treatment so beginning Tuesday UC Health will have a new resource to get patients the help they need.

UC is introducing a Mobile Stroke Unit specially designed to evaluate and treat patients who may be having a stroke. It's staffed with a paramedic, an EMT, a critical care registered nurse and a CT technician. A Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Stroke Team physician will respond via telemedicine.

The average stroke patient doesn't get clot-busting medicine until 45-60 minutes after arriving at a hospital. This is because patients have to first get a CT scan and other assessments.

"Millions of brain cells die every minute that stroke treatment is delayed and research shows that mobile stroke units can provide treatment 20 to 30 minutes faster(How fast does it have to be to get 100% recovered? Why the fuck don't you know that answer?) than in an emergency department," says Joseph Broderick, MD, director of the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute and Professor of Neurology and Rehabilitation medicine at the UC College of Medicine."

The Mobile Stroke Unit is dispatched along with the local EMS department. It's equipped with advanced diagnostic technology including a mobile CT scanner and the clot-busting medication tPA. (tissue plasminogen activator)

Medical Director of the Mobile Stroke Unit Dr. Christopher Richards says it's the first of its kind in the region. "We are able to bring the emergency department to the curbside in order to diagnose and treat stroke as quickly and safely as possible."

The unit is based at the Springfield Township Fire Department at 9150 Winton Road and will be available between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily, including holidays. It will respond in an area of approximately 15 minutes from the fire station.
