Assessment of stroke knowledge and awareness among primary healthcare providers: A cross-sectional survey from the Kezhou quality improvement in acute stroke care project.

Objective: Acute stroke care is a highly complex type of emergency medical service (EMS) involving patient-centered care in a highly unpredictable and stressful environment with the help of several busy providers. The ability of primary healthcare providers (PHPs) to identify stroke onset early and further manage referrals to higher-level hospitals becomes critical.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey about stroke knowledge and awareness among PHPs in China from September 2021 to December 2021.

Real-time feedback on mobile application use for emergency management affects the door-to-needle time and functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke.

Objectives: Time from onset to reperfusion affects mortality and favorable outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). To evaluate effects of a real-time feedback mobile application on critical time intervals and functional outcomes in stroke emergency management.

Methods: We recruited patients with clinically suspected acute stroke from December 1st, 2020 until July 30st, 2022.

Mechanical thrombectomy for acute multivessel occlusions with duplicated middle cerebral artery: A case report.

Acute multivessel occlusions generally have multisite clot burden with lower successful reperfusion rates, and cerebrovascular anatomical variants increase the challenge of endovascular clot retrieval. We report a case of acute anterior multivessel occlusions patient with duplicated middle cerebral artery. Combined balloon guide catheter with stent retriever and aspiration approach has gained complete revascularization and good functional outcomes at 3 months follow-up.
