A Collaborative Effort to Improve Emergency Stroke Care: Mobile Stroke Unit

What can we do to cut down the time it takes to give a clot dissolving drug (tPA)? MOBILE STROKE UNIT!

Mobile Stroke Unit Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU)- an ambulance equipped with all diagnostic equipment and staff needed for pre-hospital stroke assessment and treatment

Mobile Stroke Unit Diagnostics Equipment Portable CT scanner (CereTom)- brain CT can be done in the field to rule out bleeding into the brain Point-of-care laboratory system- labs recommended for the approval of TPA administration Teleradiology/Teleneurology connection

Mobile Stroke Unit Staffing: Who will be inside? Licensed Vascular Neurologist with an ACLS Certification Critical Care/ER trained Registered Nurse with ACLS certification Licensed Paramedic with ACLS certification Licensed CT radiology technician with BLS certification.

Pre-hospital versus In-Hospital Stroke Treatment: a Multicenter Randomized Prospective Trial

STUDY OBJECTIVES To investigate whether a pre-hospital stroke treatment based on an ambulance that includes all diagnostic tools required for pre-hospital thrombolysis, can significantly decrease the delay between alarm (911 call) and therapy decision and administration of thrombolysis in eligible acute ischemic stroke patients. Important information on rate of administration of recanalizing treatments, safety, clinical outcome, best setting, as well as on cost efficiency will be obtained.

Pre-hospital versus In-Hospital Stroke Treatment: a Multicenter Randomized Prospective Trial A 50% reduction of the alarm-to therapy decision and stroke management subintervals was reached by MSU–based stroke management in a recent trial (Walter et al., Lancet Neurology 2012).

Mobile Stroke Unit Process 911 call HFD ambulance immediately dispatched per routine Call takers specifically trained to recognize signs/symptoms of a possible stroke MSU team called and dispatched to site MSU team meets HFD ambulance at emergency site Mobile Stroke Unit Process

Mobile Stroke Unit Process MSU stationed at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston Staffed by an on-call EMT driver, CT technician, stroke neurologist (faculty or fellow) and a nurse Catchment area- predetermined for patient enrollment, will allow dispatch and arrival of the MSU and EMS together at the emergency site at the same time Catchment area- 3 mile radius around Texas Medical Center Patient’s medical history and physical examination will directly be performed by the EMS paramedics and MSU neurologist Patient moved into the MSU

Mobile Stroke Unit Process Blood samples will be analyzed by a point of care (POC) laboratory (INR; blood glucose, blood count) by the nurse. Non-contrast Brain CT will be performed by a certified radiology technician. Brain CT review will be performed by a vascular neurologist on-site or using pacs via telemedicine. Therapy decision time if the patient meets inclusion and exclusion criteria for thrombolysis according to the latest published guidelines, IVtPA will be given without delay.

Mobile Stroke Unit Process Patient will be transported by EMS or the MSU to the appropriate stroke center hospital Patients will receive standard EMS stroke care en-route Patients treated with tPA, will receive standard post-tPA monitoring -q5 min vitals -Neuro checks and -Observation for angioedema Destination hospitals include any of the 3 certified Comprehensive Stroke Centers within a 15 minute drive of the emergency site, will be determined by EMS according to usual criteria Destination hospital will be pre-notified by EMS, all further care will be carried out at the destination hospital according to their usual routine

Request for Council Action Section 4.9 of the current ambulance ordinance defines who can respond to medical emergencies on the streets of Houston. Request suspension of this section strictly for the purposes of this research project.
