Overview

Randomized trial shows reduced time to imaging in acute stroke patients, suggesting more efficient pathways may be developed.

Key Points

  • This project aimed to reduce the time from admission to imaging and subsequent admission to the Hyperacute Stroke Unit.
  • Retrospective data collection using an acute admission logging tool and electronic patient records.
  • Initial data collected from August to October 2025, followed by an educational intervention.
  • Post-intervention data was collected in October and November 2025.
  • Pre-intervention mean ATI reduced from 72 minutes to 38 minutes for the OOH team (p<0.001).
  • Pre-intervention mean ATH for the OOH team was 515 minutes; post-intervention, it reduced to 359.6 minutes, not statistically significant.
  • Mean ATI for the stroke team decreased from 26 minutes to 26 minutes, indicating maintained efficiency.
