On the Neuro floor/stroke unit, nurses frequently encounter patients with ischemic strokes who require thrombolytic therapy (e.g., tissue plasminogen activator – tPA) as the standard of care. However, a recurring problem is the delay in administering tPA due to the need for computed tomography (CT) imaging to rule out hemorrhagic stroke before tPA initiation. This delay can impact patient outcomes and poses a challenge for nurses in providing timely care while ensuring patient safety.
In adult patients with ischemic strokes (P), does the implementation of a streamlined CT imaging protocol (I) compared to the standard practice of CT imaging followed by tPA administration (C) reduce the time to tPA initiation and improve clinical outcomes, including neurological deficits and disability (O) within a stroke unit setting (T)?
P (Population): Adult patients with ischemic strokes.
I (Intervention): Implementation of a streamlined CT imaging protocol.
C (Comparison): Standard practice of CT imaging followed by tPA administration.
O (Outcome): Reduction in the time to tPA initiation and improvement in clinical outcomes, including neurological deficits and disability.
T (Timeframe): Within a stroke unit setting.
