Impact of Strengthened Collaboration with Emergency Medical Services and In-Hospital Workflow Optimization for Reducing Treatment Delays in Endovascular Thrombectomy
Interventions shortened door-to-puncture time in acute stroke patients, highlighting the role of emergency medical services and in-hospital optimization.
Key Points
DTP time significantly decreased after implementing new protocols, enhancing treatment efficiency for stroke patients.
Among 66 patients, intervention Group B showed a significant reduction in DTP time (p <0.001) compared to Group A.
Collaboration with emergency medical services led to a 54% increase in mechanical thrombectomy procedures performed.
Challenges remain as prehospital times did not change significantly, indicating need for further improvements.
