Guidelines for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke

I know these persons think this is great, but this is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titantic.  Members of the oversight committee really need to get out and talk to survivors. There is nothing here that will prepare for the tsunami of strokes that are going to occur as the last of the baby boomer bulge reach 65. This has been known for 40 years and no one thought far enough ahead to figure out how to stop stroke damage. Other than the lazy F.A.S.T. news releases.

American Stroke Association: Quick action key to stroke treatment

New guidelines recommend therapy within 60 minutes of hospital arrival

Hell, I got tPA within 60 minutes of arrival, 90 minutes total and still look at the massive damage I have. I believe most of that is from the neuronal cascade of death.
