SELECT-CT: Symptom Evaluation, Lesion Estimation, and Curated Triage to CT - A Simple Algorithm to Select the Right Patients for Emergent Code Stroke CT
Key Points
The aim is to develop an algorithm that effectively triages patients for CT scans in stroke emergencies.
Developed the SELECT-CT algorithm for patient assessment.
Evaluated symptoms to estimate the need for CT scans.
Curated patient selection for appropriate treatment.
Reduced the workload for Code Stroke CT scans.
Successfully identified patients eligible for thrombectomy.
Abstract
The SELECT-CT algorithm can reduce Code Stroke CT scan workload while still identifying patients who should be treated with thrombectomy.
