Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has posed challenges for medical teams managing acute stroke patients, who may not show typical COVID-19 symptoms, making timely intervention essential without sacrificing safety.
- The stroke team evaluated pre-pandemic protocols and identified challenges during the pandemic, leading to the development of a revised acute stroke care algorithm tailored to local resources and practices.
