Do you really think you can get your stroke patient treated in 3 minutes to get to full recovery? NO? So, you fully expect your stroke medical 'professionals' to have EXACT 100% RECOVERY PROTOCOLS regardless of the time you present to the hospital? But they don't have that now and aren't working on it, ARE THEY?
Door to needle time is way to slow! It has to be as soon as the patient is identified with a stroke. Like maybe these fast diagnosis options?

Electrical 'storms' and 'flash floods' drown the brain after a stroke
In this research in mice the needed time frame for tPA delivery is 3 minutes for full recovery.
Saving lives is great but survivors want full recovery, or don't you ever talk to survivors?

Quality Improvement Intervention for Reducing Acute Treatment Times in Ischemic Stroke: A Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial
Sanne J. den Hartog Nikki van LeeuwenShow all 83 authors
primary outcome was time from door to groin puncture for all patients treated with EVT.(WRONG OUTCOME! The outcome to measure is 100% recovery! NOTHING LESS YOU BLITHERING IDIOTS!) Secondary outcomes included door-to-needle time, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at day 2, expanded Treatment in Cerebral Infarction (eTICI) score, and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months. The effect of the intervention was estimated with multivariable linear mixed models. Results A total of 4747 patients were included (intervention: 2431; control: 2316). Their mean (SD) age was 72 (13) years; 2337 (49.2%) were female and 2410 (50.8%) were male. The median (IQR) baseline NIHSS score was 14 (8-19). Median (IQR) door-to–groin puncture time under the intervention condition was 47 (25-71) minutes, compared with 52 (29-75) minutes under the control condition. The adjusted absolute reduction was 5 minutes (β = −4.8; 95% CI, −9.5 to −0.1; P = .04), corresponding to a relative reduction of 9.2% (95% CI, −18.3% to −0.2%). Conclusion and Relevance This study found that performance feedback provided through a dashboard used by local quality improvement teams reduced door-to–groin puncture time for EVT. Implementation of performance feedback in hospitals providing EVT can improve the quality of care for ischemic stroke. Trial Registration The Netherlands Trial Register: NL9090
