Big fucking whoopee.
I saw absolutely nothing about what should be done the first week or anything about measuring 30-day deaths and 100% recovery. Procedures and 60 minute treatment mean nothing if you don't measure results. I see nothing about measuring results so this means nothing.
People Hospital 115 achieves gold status in stroke treatment - Ho Chi Minh City
People
Hospital 115 in Ho Chi Minh City has become the first hospital in Asia
to achieve Gold status certification in treatment for stroke issued by
the European Stroke Organization.
The infirmary yesterday organized a meeting to receive the certification.
According to Professor Carlos Molina, head of the Vall d’Hebron
Hospital’s Stroke ward in Spain’s Barcelona, to achieve the level “ Gold
status”, the hospital ought to meet these criteria including
standardized stroke treatment procedure, quality and patients’ safety,
high rate of stroke patients treated within 60 minutes after being
admitted into the infirmary and scanned CT and MRI soon.
From 2017, the European Stroke Organization and the World Stroke
Organization have provided support to Vietnam in improving stroke
quality through Angels program nationwide by setting up high quality
stroke centers. With the support, the number of stroke centers in the
country has raised from 14 in 2017 to 73 now and all hospitals in the
country will have stroke medical units to save life of patients in the
near future.
People Hospital 115 Deputy Head Dr. Bui Minh Trang said that the
Cerebrovascular ward has treated nearly 12,000 stroke patients in 2018
with the rate of recovery of approximately 90 percent.
More importantly, the hospital has reduced the average length of
stay in hospital from 5.88 days in 2016 to 4.54 days in 2018. Reduction
of hospital stay length of stroke patients proved the hospital’s
effective treatment procedures.
Especially, the infirmary physicians have applied therapy with
clot-busting drugs (must start within 4.5 hours if they are given into
the vein — and the sooner, the better) and use a catheter to maneuver a
device into the blocked blood vessel in your brain and trap and remove
the clot ( This procedure is particularly beneficial for people with
large clots that can't be completely dissolved with tPA )
Presently, the hospital is preparing human resource for application
of a brain hemorrhage treatment that involves drilling a hole in the
skull to drain accumulated blood with the expectation to cut down on the
number of stroke deaths and disabilities due to stroke.
Chairman of Stroke Association in Ho Chi Minh City Dr. Nguyen Huy
Thang said at a lately seminar that just 19.4 percent of stroke patients
reach hospitals within 'golden hour' to get clot-busting drug;
accordingly, the number of stroke deaths are still high up to 18
percent.
Moreover, just 5.3 percent of stroke patients have been taken to
medical centers within 6 first hours while up to 75.3 percent come to
medical facilities after six first hours. Therefore, just 25 percent of
stroke patients receive timely treatment and they are highly likely
recover soon.
Worse, after treatment, just 5 percent of Vietnamese stroke
patient receive physical therapy while most of residents in developed
countries are taken to these special centers for physiotherapy.
