Stroke
Fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.Leading cause of disability in the U.S., affecting over 700,0004.4 million stroke survivors85% ischemic
Less than 25% of eligible thrombolytic candidates are receiving therapy

Why we are here today…
Stroke system of care in Iowa can workWe have laid the groundwork and gave CDC noticeThey believed us…Funding for 3 years through the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program

Why we are here today…
Studies are unequivocal – EMS / Hospital articulation is one of the most important factors in achieving time to treat.EMS cannot teach/ be taught in standalone mode any longer. We are an integral part of the healthcare system

Paramedics demonstrated 61 – 66% sensitivity for identifying stroke after traditional training methodsSensitivity increased to 86 – 97% after receiving training in using a stroke assessment tool, such as the CPSS or LAPSS

Anterior Circulation
Internal Carotid (ICA) Ascends through base of skull to give rise to the anterior and middle cerebral arteries, and connect with the posterior half of circle of Willis via posterior communicating artery

Posterior Circulation Vertebral-Basilar
Vertebral ascends from the subclavian arteries, through the transverse foramen of the cervical vertebrae to enter the cranial cavity via the foramen magnum. Gives branch to basilar which terminates into the posterior cerebral arteries

Stroke Assessment
NIH stroke scale42 point scale to look at neurological deficitsGreat baseline – creates a uniform exam that can be reproduced
Good for transition of care Easier to track statistically

Stroke Assessment – NIH Scale
Complete assessment is great tool for baselineTests all cranial nerves, peripheral nerves for sensation, movement, spatial perception, coordination…TOO LONG FOR PRE-HOSPITAL SCENES

Treatment Goals
Oxygenate the brain – there still may be some left!

Treatment Goals
BP management (?)CPP = MAP – ICP
If hypertensive crisis in conjunction with stroke, call medical control before lowering pressureAHA guidelines – drop systolic BP by increments – no more than 25% of initial value, or diastolic approaches 100

Treatment Goals

What about Stroke Centers?
Positive effects of stroke center are comparable to the effects of timely administration of tPA…Preferential routing to stroke centers

Iowa EMS Protocol Utilize CPSS or other reproducible stroke assessmentIf stroke symptoms are present with an onset of less than 4.5 hours
Transport to primary stroke center if transport is 30 minutes or lessTransport to closest stroke capable hospital if greater than 30 minutes
