Acute Stroke Intervention
By Apollo Simulation Centre
Description
Patients with acute stroke require IV access and cardiac monitoring in the emergency department (ED). Patients with acute stroke are at risk for cardiac arrhythmias. In addition, atrial fibrillation may be associated with acute stroke as either the cause (embolic disease) or as a complication.
Learning Outcome
- During an acute ischemic stroke, there is a core of tissue that has been irreversibly damaged by ischemia. This core is surrounded by the ischemic penumbra, tissue that is hypoperfused and at risk of permanent injury, but with reperfusion, could be salvaged and return to normal function. The goal of acute stroke treatment is to restore flow to the ischemic penumbra.
- Intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the standard of care for patients with acute ischemic stroke if it can be given within 4.5 hours of the last known normal time. IV tPA reduces the odds of disability after ischemic stroke.
- While IV tPA is effective for all ischemic stroke subtypes, patients with large artery occlusion often do not recanalize after IV tPA, and these patients tend to have poor functional outcomes, even when they are treated with IV tPA.
- Intra-arterial thrombolysis can be performed after IV tPA administration, and is an option for patients with contraindications to IV tPA

Curriculum
This is a blended learning course that includes an online module and a contact course. The online lectures are interactive and provide learners with a clear understanding of the principles of resuscitation. The contact course allows learners to receive active, hands-on training from expert doctors in a realistic hospital setting. ASC maintains the optimal ratio of learners to trainers and a wide selection of simulation manikins. Every learner is provided with ample time and space to practice their skills and perfect their techniques.
