Keberhasilan penanganan stroke sangat tergantung dari kecepatan, kecermatan dan ketepatan terhadap penanganan awal. Keluarga sangat berperan penting dalam menangani serangan stroke anggota keluarganya. Waktu emas (golden window) dalam penanganan stroke adalah ± 3 jam, artinya dalam 3 jam awal setelah mendapatkan serangan stroke, pasien harus segera mendapatkan terapi secara komprehensif dan optimal. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi penanganan pre hospital stroke life support yang dilakukan oleh keluarga mulai dari deteksi dini, pengiriman maupun rujukan cepat di Kabupaten Kendal. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Ruang rawat inap RSUD Dr. H. Soewondo Kendal pada 45 responden (keluarga pasien stroke). Desain penelitian ini menggunakan deskriptif observasional menggunakan kuesioner penanganan prehospital pada stroke. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Penanganan Pre Hospital Stroke Life Support mayoritas dalam kategori baik (60%) baik dari segi deteksi dini, pengiriman, maupun rujukan cepat pada pasien stroke. Penelitian ini dapat menjadi dasar dalam pemberian edukasi bagi masyarakat pada dimensi Deteksi pasien stroke dalam hal deteksi wajah dan pemberian posisi serta pada dimensi Pengiriman pasien dan transportasi stroke dalam hal penggunaan ambulance. Kata kunci: pre hospital, stroke, penanganan awal, keluarga Abstract Descriptive study of handling prehospital stroke life support in family. The success of handling stroke depends on the speed, accuracy and accuracy of the initial treatment. Families are very important in handling stroke attacks by family members. Golden time in handling stroke is ± 3 hours, meaning that in the first 3 hours after getting a stroke, the patient must immediately get a comprehensive and optimal therapy. This study was aimed to identify the treatment of pre hospital stroke life support carried out by the family in the early treatment of stroke patients ranging from early detection, delivery and rapid referral in Kendal Regency. This research was carried out in the inpatient room of Dr. H. Soewondo Kendal in 45 respondents (family of stroke patients). The design of this study used an observational descriptive using a prehospital handling questionnaire on stroke. The results showed that the majority of Pre Hospital Stroke Life Support was in the good category (60%) both in terms of early detection, delivery, and quick reference in stroke patients. This research can be the basis for giving education to the community on the dimensions of detection of stroke patients in terms of face detection and the provision of positions as well as the dimensions of patient delivery and stroke transportation in terms of ambulance use. Keywords: pre hospital, stroke, early treatment, family

Abstract Background This work was to study the prehospital time among suspected stroke patients who were transported by an emergency medical service (EMS) system using a national database. Methods National EMS database of suspected stroke patients who were treated by EMS system across 77 provinces of Thailand between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2018, was retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data (i.e., regions, shifts, levels of ambulance, and distance to the scene) and prehospital time (i.e., dispatch, activation, response, scene, and transportation time) were extracted. Time parameters were also categorized according to the guidelines. Results Total 53,536 subjects were included in the analysis. Most of the subjects were transported during 06.00-18.00 (77.5%) and were 10 km from the ambulance parking (80.2%). Half of the subjects (50.1%) were served by advanced life support (ALS) ambulance. Median total time was 29 min (IQR 21, 39). There was a significant difference of median total time among ALS (30 min), basic (27 min), and first responder (28 min) ambulances, Holm P = 0.009. Although 91.7% and 88.3% of the subjects had dispatch time ≤ 1 min and activation time ≤ 2 min, only 48.3% had RT ≤ 8 min. However, 95% of the services were at the scene ≤ 15 min. Conclusion Prehospital time from EMS call to hospital was approximately 30 min which was mainly utilized for traveling from the ambulance parking to the scene and transporting patients from the scene to hospitals. Even though only 48% of the services had RT ≤ 8 min, 95% of them had the scene time ≤ 15 min.

Introduction: Among the estimated 22.5 million stroke survivors in China, 78% of them require home care. Previous research has indicated that culture can have a significant impact on caregivers’ perceptions of the caregiving role. There is a dearth of research on stroke caregivers’ perceptions within the Chinese culture. Objective: To explore how Chinese culture influences the perceptions of the caregiving role among stroke caregivers. Methods: In this qualitative descriptive study, 14 stroke caregivers were recruited from a 1800-bed regional hospital in China. Caregivers were on average 58 years old (range 46-74), 78% female, 50% spouse-caregivers and 50% children-caregivers. Caregivers spent on average 14 hours per day (range 5-24) providing care. All were 1st time caregivers who had provided stroke caregiving < 12 months. Individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted. Qualitative content analysis was performed. Strategies to achieve trustworthiness include triangulation of the data in the analysis process, member checking and peer debriefing. Results: Three themes emerged from the interviews. (1) Caregiving is a natural expected part of life. All caregivers accepted caregiving for the sick family member as an expected part of life. This perception is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. (2) Caregiving is a culturally prescribed obligation. Spouse caregivers believe that it is their moral obligation to take care of their sick life partner. Female caregivers emphasized their position and role in the family to take up caregiving for sick relative. (3) Caregiving is an expression of reciprocal love within the immediate family. Tangible caregiving and support during adversity are viewed as expression of reciprocal love among family members. Particularly, the children-caregivers believed in the virtue of filial piety and perceived stroke caregiving as a means of repaying their parents. Conclusions: Our findings highlight an underlying acceptance and devotion of undertaking stroke caregiving within the Chinese culture. Researchers and clinicians that plan to develop an intervention to support Chinese stroke caregivers need to consider integrating these findings.

Few Data

Background: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) play an important role as initial providers after stroke. Few data are available that capture Stroke Receiving System and EMS response and transport data. We used a stroke registry from a community of 3.3 million residents, 18 stroke receiving centers, and 19 ground transporting advanced life support EMS agencies to evaluate EMS response time, scene time, and transport times. Our aim was to inform the stroke community about duration of EMS care and guide future prehospital interventions. Methods: We included all cases from the San Diego County Stroke Registry arriving by EMS with associated computer automated dispatch (CAD) record and base hospital record (BHR) from July 2017 through December 2018. Records were linked on the EMS incident number, reviewed for accuracy. We analyzed EMS response, scene, transport and total run times (enroute to arrival) by receiving hospital. Results: Between July 2017 and December 2018 2,376 EMS patients were transported to 18 hospitals. Volume per hospital ranged from 11 to 483 patients over the study period. Mean (±SD) response time was 7.0 (±3.7) minutes, range: 5.3 to 9.3 minutes between hospitals. Mean (±SD) scene time was 13.1 (±5.2) minutes, range: 10.5 to 15.0 minutes between hospitals. Transport time averaged 13.8 (±7.7) minutes, range: 8.3 to 23.8 minutes between hospitals (IQR=8.5-17.9). The mean (±SD) total EMS run time was 33.8 (±10.8) minutes, range: 26.4 to 44.9 minutes between hospitals (IQR=26.4-39.9). Conclusion: Only minor variations in EMS response and scene times were observed across the Stroke Receiving Centers. However, transport time showed greater variation and contributed to the differences in total EMS run times. Many systems had short transport times, limiting prehospital interventions. Next steps include studying factors contributing to transport time variation to inform prehospital care and triage decisions of possible stroke patients to optimize transport times.

The Impact

Introduction: The North Dakota Mission: Lifeline Stroke program is a 3-year initiative which aims to improve statewide stroke systems of care. Due to complexities in recognizing and treating stroke patients, effective education of prehospital and hospital health care providers on guideline-based assessments and treatment methods were identified as an essential intervention. In person lectures, conferences, workshops, stroke simulation trainings, online courses, webinars, and a stroke certification program were deployed throughout the project. Purpose: The purpose of the post-education survey was to determine the impact, value, and success of different types of education provided during the project. Methods: North Dakota healthcare professionals (n=221) completed a 20-question online survey about their experiences participating in the stroke trainings provided from 2017 to 2020. Results: Survey respondents consisted of 76 Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers and 145 hospital-based healthcare professionals. The majority of hospital-based staff respondents were nurses (80.1%), while most EMS-based respondents were paramedics or EMTs (75.0%). Half of all respondents (49.8%) participated in 2 or more educational offerings. Respondents were asked to rank the educational offerings in which they participated in by order of the benefit to their everyday practice. The two highest ranking educational offerings were the Advanced Stroke Life Support Class (mean rank=1.6) and Simulation in Motion (SIM) ND (mean rank=2.3). More than 90% of respondents stated that these trainings were extremely or very applicable to their everyday practice. When asked about the overall impact of all the educational offerings they participated in, almost all (92.6%) respondents indicated they agree that because of the trainings they have a better understanding of the key issues related to caring for stroke patients. Conclusions: Overall, the comprehensive survey provides concrete evidence and feedback that multi-modal education campaigns are well-received and effective in furthering awareness of guideline-based stroke assessments and treatment methods. Activities with a kinesthetic learning approach were found to be especially well-received.

Nihss Score

Introduction Early recognition and rapid transport to a stroke center by prehospital providers is essential in the care of stroke patients. In this study, prehospital providers were trained to perform the Miami Emergency Neurologic Deficit (MEND) exam as part of an 8-hour comprehensive course, Advanced Stroke Life Support (ASLS ® ). The MEND exam was devised to facilitate communication between healthcare providers throughout the continuum of care for stroke patients. It can provide a baseline exam in the prehospital setting, and then be used by nurses for initial evaluation and subsequent exams in the ED, ICU or hospital floor. The MEND exam incorporates all three components of the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS) and six additional components from the NIHSS (level of consciousness, orientation, commands, visual fields, gaze, leg motor, limb ataxia, sensation). The exam takes less than 2 minutes and requires no tools, making it ideal for the Prehospital environment. Purpose Determine the correlation of the MEND exam completed by a prehospital provider on scene to the initial NIHSS performed by the neurologist at the receiving facility, and the final diagnosis. Methods All prehospital providers from three Fire Rescue agencies participated in the training (96 EMT-P, 68 EMT, 5 RN). The Prehospital providers conducted the CPSS, and if abnormal, placed the helicopter team on standby. They then completed the MEND exam and communicated their findings to a receiving hospital stroke neurologist. We retrospectively reviewed the MEND exam performed by the prehospital providers to determine the correlation with the same components of the initial NIHSS at the hospital. While the NIHSS assigned a numerical value to those specific components, the MEND exam did not. Additionally, we examined the final discharge diagnosis to determine how many patients had a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Results From Sept. 2008 to June 2011, 51 patients met the criteria of having both a MEND exam and NIHSS completed. There were 32 males (63%) and 19 females (37%) with a median age of 67 years (44-98 years). The average NIHSS score was 9 (range 0-30). 90.2% (46 of 51) of patients had an NIHSS that correlated to the findings on the MEND (95% C.I. 90.1-90.3). Of the 5 remaining patients, 1 completely recovered on the flight (diagnosed with a TIA), and 3 had a NIHSS score of 0 and were diagnosed with other conditions. Stroke or TIA was diagnosed in 40 patients (78.4%). Of 37 strokes, 32 were ischemic (86.5%) and 5 hemorrhagic (13.5%). The 11 patients not diagnosed with a stroke had several other pathologies (e.g. seizure, hypertensive crisis, viral encephalitis, complex migraine). Conclusion The MEND exam completed in the Prehospital setting correlated well with the initial NIHSS performed at the receiving facility. The MEND exam is a valuable tool when assessing stroke patients and determining need for air transport.
