Surgical procedures pose an increased stroke risk, especially in patients with underlying stroke risk factors. Approximately half of the 23,678 surgical cases performed at our institution were "same-day" surgeries, with patients discharged on the same surgery day. The objective of our project was to optimize the stroke code process for outpatients recovering from surgery who exhibited acute stroke symptoms, warranting rapid evaluation. An interdisciplinary committee was formed to identify and develop workflow gaps causing delays in evaluation and treatment and to streamline the diagnostic and intervention phases of acute stroke care, regardless of "inpatient" or "outpatient" status. Statement of Successful Practice: [Display omitted] We compared 8 cases in 2022 and 5 cases in 2023; we noted a trend in reduced times to imaging acquisition from 127 to 40 mins. Further data abstraction will better characterize the potential for reducing evaluation and treatment times for all PACU inpatients and outpatients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
